Thread: Summer specks

Good job. Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

What were you guys doing... pushing, tightlining, spiderrigging, water depth??? Some info would be helpful.

The water looks to be up about 3' so the average depth of Monroe is 11'... The bite is EARLY.... I was pushing at about 1.2 mph running about 5' deep.....wt was 84*.... Actually a little cool for this time of the year, probably due to all the rain. I like to find 8 to 9' fow and push about 3 to 4' deep....
This is how I fish.... Not telling anyone how to fish.... Certainly not an expert!
Don't get frustrated if you go 1/2 hour or more without a bite.... It's not on fire by any means.... You gotta work for em....I continually change colors and speed.

Thanks! That info always helps. My fishing buddy and I push jigs and cranks... usually a bit slower than you, about 1 mph. But other than that, it seems we fish a lot alike.

Tom

thanks for the great report and the info on what you did. It's always good to learn what others are doing to bend rods.

News Journal reports specks biting in Woodruff as well. Looks like an early year perhaps.

Crappie bite all year long, just have to find them when they are not in obvious places.

Mike....I think it's the cool water temps that's got them thinking it's fall...
