Default Nickajack

Hit Nickajack at 9:45 a.m. and left at 2:00 p.m. with 13 crappie.....2 shy of the limit of 15. I am finding the older I get the less I can hang around for those few more hours to get those last fish to limit out......but hey.....13 crappie from Nickajack is a nice haul. The crappie there are very broad shouldered fish. My smallest was just over 11 inches and the largest just over 13 inches....most fish were at the 12 inch mark. They were holding on the bottom in 21 feet of water. I used a Tict Ice Cube 6' 9" Mebaru UL rod to catch all fish.....line used was 2# test braid with an 18 inch leader of 2# test Phantom fluorocarbon leader. The lure was a Bison Trout Magnet either on a 1/64 or 1/24 ounce jig head with a #8 hook. Catching 12-13 inch slab crappie on 2# test is a lot of fun...life is good!
