Lake Sequoya this afternoon

I fished a couple hours this afternoon and caught these. The wind was tough but I hung in there and got a good mess.

cool pic! I like the back ground. Is that the lake? Trailor looks easy to use. How did you catch your fish?

think that is the skyline behind him, not the water. Nice catch

No, that's my backyard at dusk. I caught them spider rigging the ledges off the edges of the channels in 6' of water. I use 4 poles off the front of the yak cruzing about .3 to .6 mph. I was using 1/4 oz round head jigs with a small spinner, similar to a roadrunner.

Do the lines "angle back" much with 1/4 oz jigs at that speed? I am just starting to experiment with spider rigging in my canoe.

what kind of stringer you using in the pic ??

Good looking crappie. I still haven't made it down to fish that lake yet. I've heard there's some good sized flat head catfish in there.

No they hang pretty straight at those speeds. I used the stringer because I left my cool/livewell at home. It's a homemade stringer I made from 2 stringers. It's a cheap stringer that I made by taking the clips off of a metal stringer and tied them on a regular stringer to make it way quieter. It actually works pretty well. Yea James they catch some gooduns out of there every year I've heard.

thanks, been trying to figure out how to make a quiet stringer, that's the ticket. thanks.

It will work great if you want to use a stringer but one suggestion. Tie a large catfish swivel directly to the line then clip the stringer clip to the swivel so the fish can swivel. I think it will make it a little better without making it noisy.
