Went to the lake today hoping to hook a few crappie and ended up having one heck of a day! We started catching crappie right off, caught them in the mouth of almost any cove on the main lake. All were about 6-10 ft deep in 15-20 ft deep of water. We kept 20 and threw back some 9 inchers that we could have kept but only needed that many for my dinner! haha!! Caught probly 20 short fish.Fished from daylight to about 5 and that was because we ran out of minnows.
There were fish busting shad out in the middle of the lake this morning, trolled out to them thinking they were hybrids. Started throwing topwaters and rattle traps and to my surprise they were largemouth schooled up and a couple were decent keepers. Water was around 70 degrees and decent color.
We caught crappie,bass, hybrids and bluegill.
We did go back into a couple of creeks, and there was some bait but couldnt find the crappie, all were still out on main lake for us.
Took off work today, and really wish i could tomorrow, had an absolute blast.
