Wow, did we have fun. I can't get over what a beautiful lake Monroe is. We fished our butts off. There were four of us on a fishing pontoon. I lost count of how many dozen minnows we went though.
We probably caught 150-200 fish. Most were too small to keep but alot were almost keepers. My buddy caught a 15 1/2 inch white crappie. Didn't have a decent scale but it was a hog. One of the youngens caught a 26 inch yellow catfish on a crappie rig. That was worth the price of admission.
We probably didn't catch 10 fish on artificial. Tried everything, fished it every way.
We fished the north side of the lake for a day and a half and fished ramp creek area the second day.
