Thread: Down and Dirty

Pulling into the ramp I was somewhat surprised to see how many trailers were in the parking lot for late January. I actually had to wait to launch my boat for the first time in a while. I noticed several boats were long lining mid Creek Channel without success based on overhearing conversation that carries so well over the water. The water temperature was 39 degrees so I chose to head closer to the river and search for crappie in the deepest parts of the channel. I was fortunate enough to place a waypoint on a few new spots with good cover that held fish for the moment. 3 inch baits vertical jigged in green orange white black and gold were all effective colors in catching fish from 22 + feet deep. I didn't run the clicker counter but would guesstimate catching over 30 with a limit of keepers up to 12 inches. A few fish had difficulty getting back down after being pulled from these depths but I think only one did not survive the ordeal.
