Cranking Lemon

launched at 7 and fished till 11:30 am. PICO Chrome Clown, Mud Bug, Killer Bee, and Fire Tiger were best colors. Chrome Clown even nailed around a 10lb flat head cat and ended up bending the hooks getting him released. Kept 23 crappie from 10” to 13.5” with all but 3 were males and the rest were females full of eggs not quite ready to spawn. Water temp was 70.5 so I have to think some are spawning. Speed was 1.8 to 2 mph if you went any slower you were slammed with small fish as i must have released 50-60 keeping my 3 rods busy as couple times I used only 2. Not alot of boats on Lemon so I also had main lake hot spots to my self. Lake was mirror calm till 11 am and slight breeze finally rippled the surface. Air temp when I loaded the boat was a hot sunny 84.



Knats are getting really bad and I spray and use Bug Soother from Amazon. Seems to really work great for about 6 hrs. Not that expensive either in Amazon.
