    Default Two lakes, 2 fishers, one day. 4/23/19


    It started off long before daylight for Phillip and I below Watts Bar dam. I hooked one Striper and had it on for about 4 or 5 violent head shakes before he pulled off. That was it before all the out of state Striper guides arrived and started running through the fish. So we quit shortly after sunrise. We skunked.

    Phil had stuff to do so when we got home so Candi and I got together for a dock shooting day. She requested it and I promised to fish docks which we did most of the time that we were out or until the lake began to whitecap.

    We caught over 30 crappie with most being next year’s keeper class. In other words, juvenile crappie. But we had a few keepers as well. Fun day being out with a great dock shooting expert. She can hit a 4” opening under a dock better than most, including me.

    We didn’t take very many pics today. Water temps at WB was 63.1 and at Skull Island ramp it was 69.4.

    Thanks for letting me ride along for the Drumking show today!
    DK took me to school today, I was lucky to catch a fish. Too much yard work, not enough fishing, that’s my excuse.
    i did get a start on my summer tan, an my freckles popped out.

    Great catch, I got out a little while this afternoon and water temperatures were about the same as you reported, and I found some younger Crappie also wanting to play. That first fish picture is my favorite, all dressed up in black for the Spring Dance.

    Good show, I'm with Candi. I like catching crappie on off shore cover. And I like the thump when dock shooting.
    'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
    The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
    And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6

    NICE WORK DK & CUOTL I may try WBTW next week. I'm having a REAL rough time with the slabs right now (I suck at shallow water crappie fishin'), the turkey huntin' continues to be nothing more than a hike in the woods...might be time to see if I can get the toothy critters to play. Can't be no worse than the turkeys.
