Left house at 4:00 AM this morning. After getting some breakfast arrived at fishing hole at 6:15 AM and waited until had enough sun light to start fishing...about 7:30 AM. A couple of locals showed up to fish also. No one caught any Crappie until about 8:00 AM. The bite was pretty regular until about 9:00 AM. My two buddies left shy of a limit.....they only live 8 minutes away and I am sure will go back this evening. I was not going to leave without a limit. Caught my last fish at 10:00 AM. It is the single pic and measured 15 inches. The other 14 all measured between 11 and 12 inches.....once again really fat Crappie. These fish were all hanging on the ledge wall....and all caught using a Bison colored Trout Magnet using 2# test NanoFil with 3# test fluorocarbon leader. The water temp was 69 degrees according to two boats that passed by.....water was clear. Caught 6 Green Sunfish.....they really are colored up nice and put up a nice tussle. Some big bass were busting the water on occasion. Will hit Nickajack again next week. Hopefully this cold front might can stir up the larger fish to start moving in. Am hosting MNfisher tomorrow on a trip to Pickwick. Hoping I can put us on some fish and he can get some good pics.
Regards
