Old Hickory 3/22/14
 

Fished from 1030-130 at my usually spot. Caught 10 keepers in 30 fow. The wind was making it tough so we left, picked up more bait and a Hot and Ready and headed to the lower end of the lake.

Drove around till about 3 looking for fish and found them in a wind blown creek channel in 25-27 fow. Caught about 30 more with 26 keepers.

Got 1 over 15", 4 more over 14", and 10 over 12".

Also caught a bunch of bass, drum, catfish, and stripe. It was a great trip.

Nice bunch of fish.

So they are still out in the channels/ledges?

I've got to learn how to find/fish for them in deep water. Haven't done much of that.

Looks like a blast! Nice work!

WOW those are HOGS. Good job.

Nice bunch of fish.

Just find the bait. I use my gps to find areas I think will hold fish. Yesterday the wind made it easy. Then I use my SI to find bait, mark it, and drop the spider rig and go back over it.

My goal this year was to use/trust my electronics more. I'm trying not to fish a spot just because I have caught fish there in the past. I drive over/around a spot and if it doesn't looks fishy I go to the next spot and don't waste time.

Very nice day on the water sir. I fished for a few hours today and only caught 3 keepers and maybe 6 total. I was fishing channel edge also. I usually trust my electronics but today I spent way to much time in areas not showing fish. I did find a bunch of Gar up in Jefferson springs on priest. I kept loosing fish while cranking them up and was getting frustrated and then I finally hooked what I thought was the world record crappie....... nope probably 22" gar.

Those are giants!

15 inch crappie
 

nailman, make sure you request TARP for the 15 incher. 14 inches is the standard for white and black crappie. I have completed SM, rock bass, and white crappie. 2 more gets me the master angler certificate.

14" is a TARP for crappie? I was thinking it was 15". I've probably caught 12-15 over 14" the last month, but that was my first 15".
