Ever had one of those days when the fish almost jump in the boat? Sunday was one such day for me. The day started out nice weather wise but I got a late start as usual. I had to repair the ground wire on the boat trailer as it broke.
I decided to go fish at Blue Grass Pit this day. It was a nice day with clear blue bird skies.
I avoided my normal fishing spots in favor of exploring the pit. I ended up catching a few on the very last cover at the North End of the pit. But these were all pretty small crappie. They were in 10 ft deep water near the mouth of the cove. I caught maybe ten fish and then decided that there were no big crappie here. It was getting later in the day and I figured this other spot would be better.
I got to the area where I wanted to end the day and caught my first crappie of any size. I threw out a marker buoy and started fishing this area. I ended up catching over 50 crappie. I returned all but 25 which I kept in the live well. When I got to the ramp and asked if anyone wanted these fish nobody wanted these crappie so I returned them to the lake also. Some were nice size too. I didn't feel like cleaning a mess of crappie last night.
But I had fun and it gave me something to do Sunday.
I caught a few short bass too. I explored this one spot and fished the entire edge of this big drop off. I must have landed about 10 small bass or more.
I was fishing with live minnows and a small 1/16 oz lead head jig tipped with either minnows or crappie nibbles.
Water surface temperatures were in the lower 80's on Sunday. Winds were light and out of the West when I arrived and then they calmed down before it got dark.
There are still plenty of crappie in Blue Grass Pit from what I saw.
