(@ 4:15PM)
and during that hour I caught 1 small catfish on a jig. THAT WAS IT!! Hmm....so during the next hour I finally pick up I think 4 crappies. Man! How the lake can change from one afternoon to the next! Well, with nothing else to do I kept at it and around 5:45 it began picking up. I should mention here that the whole time I was trolling I was marking fish and bait....all on the bottom or very near it. I believe the bait finally moved a bit higher in the water column and the fish started feeding some. Anyway, wound up with a good hour of fishing and quit @ 6:45PM to get all rods rolled back up, boat on the trailer, and back at home by dark. Water temp was 1* warmer than yesterday at 76.5*, no winds, water still clear, and all trolling was done at 16' to 20' of water pulling deep.Wound up catching a total of 25 crappies and that one little catfish. Here's the mess of fish I brought home today (18 crappies). Plans are to share the fillets from both days with the people that lets me hunt their lands. Of course....that's after getting me a mess out of those fillets.
