Thread: Cold Front Crappie. 72419

First White Crappie I have seen from you in a while. Every now and then I will catch a large but skinny fish like that. When you fillet them the meat has a different consistency also as I usually remove those skinny (almost emaciated looking) ones from the Gene Pool. Lakes up here came up about 2 feet with the rains and I am sure they are muddy also. More water will be headed that way soon. The cool weather is always welcome, I may give it a shot tonight, thinking about frying a few up on Thursday night for dinner.

As best as I remember seems like I catch more whites closer to the river channel. Another good job.

Healthy looking fish for sure.

Well done!

Stan, we don’t have near as many white crappie as black on Chickamauga, at least in the areas that I fish. We caught the two white crappie off an American Fishing tree that I put out a few years ago and for some unknown reason, the white crappie migrate to it. During a tournament a few years ago, we caught our 7 tournament fish off that plastic tree and all were white crappie. We finished 2nd or 4th in that tournament that CUonthelake put on for service dogs. I remember that it rained buckets and buckets of water that day. Thank goodness for a bilge pump. Lolol.

Ya'll did better than I did, yesterday, Nice pics and post!
