Sure wish I could have gone. Getting ready for the big remodeling project an then this afternoon Daisy had her phase 2 check off for therapy dog, she passed! Vacation coming up soon DK, plan to sore lip many crappie then an Chase leaves!
CUonthelake couldn’t go this morning and Phil is in Idaho, so I had to go by myself today. It was a perfect day weather wise. The crappie wanted to play and I had a ball catching all these fish. I ended up with 10 keepers and 33 short fish and one short bass.
Surface temp early was 69 but 73 by my 2:15 pm quitting time. Bright sunshine, no clouds, and no wind. It was perfect. TVA flowing 44,000 through the river but I stayed in creeks and bays.
I caught the crappie on brush and docks. 5 keepers on each structure. Very early, I caught fish on a 2-3 count over brush and on docks. Midday, I had to go to a 15 count with the 1/24 on jigs that I was casting. Most of the short crappie were on brush piles and just a few shorts on docks.
Since I was fishing solo, I didn’t get to experiment with different colors. I put the two hot colors on and never changed all day. Ghastly Minnow slab slayer on one rod and a bone white/chartreuse Crappie Magnet on the other rod.
Whew, I’m not used to fishing 5 hours in one setting. It is what I did today. Now it’s time for my nap.

Great day! Is that a normal keeper to short ratio on the Chick?

I fish by myself 99 percent of the time, and usually stay longer than I should. Good catch and in about three years I hope to be retired and enjoying these fair weather days on the water as well.
