Greenwood afternoon 1-9-13

Couldn't get on the lake until the afternoon and it was 12:00 on the money when I got all the lines in the water. Pulled out the spider rigging setup with minnows as I wanted to try the crappie bite deep on the river channels. I have been fishing Greenwood for many years and you don't get many calm days with out wind but today was one of them. This pic was took at 12:30



The bite wasn't fast but some good crappie were caught off the channels. I was using 1oz sinkers with a single hook rig fishing 12' deep. I was surprised that I didn't catch but two white perch today as most of the time they run you crazy while fishing with minnows.
Not sure of the number of fish caught but I did keep 10 for a fresh crappie dinner and released the rest. Here is a pic of a couple of the keeper fish.



Rosco was about to run my crazy watching the front rods so I had a rod with a jig tied on laying in the boat so I set him up at the back of the boat. He got into watching that rod and after an half hour I guess he barked and I looked back and the rod was bending! LOL so here is a pic of him with his crappie





Was a good day to be out on the lake. We fished until 5:00 and run through 4 dozen of minnows. Water is hard stained and holding about 47 degree.
