Williamsport 3-19-2013
Felt really good after PT today and headed to Bluecat. Got into the crappie and Shell Crackers. No these are not the crappie I am used to but here is the exciting part. All of these are Black Nose...and they have grown since last year. A couple of crappie in the basket are over a pound and some are close to a pound and a half. All of them were over 11 inches. Last year I thought there were so many in the lake that they would always be stunted. But this year they have shoulders on them. Williamsport could become a crappie destination lake in 2 years. I don't know how it will turn out but I do know there are thousands in the lake. I gave these to a gentleman out there but next time I will take my cooler. They are worth keeping. Soon as the guy had his 15 off he went. I continued to fish but put on a tungsten head and was dragging the rocks hoping to find the Shell Crackers....and I did. Caught 10 of them all at the 10 inch mark....which if you're using a UL rig with 2# test will make the drag scream. Caught a bunch of 6 inch Gills....not pic worthy. Caught around a dozen 12 to 13 inch largemouth while jigging for the Shell Crackers. All fish were caught on a Bison Trout Magnet. The crappie were caught using a TM jig head and a size B split shot. Headed to Nickajack next week....you ready Ed? It feels good to be back fishing! Life is good!
