Gonna hit Percy Priest this morning for some crappie.

I'll be long lining up near Stewart's creek. Will post a report later this afternoon.

Sure....... rub it in to us working slobs.

I sure wouldn't mind being on the yak today in this weather but I'm stuck behind a desk.

On that note, I can't wait for a few weeks after Daylight Savings Time when it won't be dark until about 8pm. I work in Smyrna 5 min away from several JPP access points. I think I'll be bringing my yak to work and then heading there for a few hours of Spring fishing afterwards some evenings!

Hope you did good. I was at Lamar Hill and the water temp was 51!

I fished two lakes today and water temp was 43 degrees at both. At one location winds were 20 MPH....caught nothing.

Ack, sorry to hear that, Alpha.

I'm sure Merv will give us a temp but seems as JPP is warmer than the lakes on the TN River System.

Merv posted 14 hrs ago. Maybe he is cleaning fish or still backing his boat and trailer up the ramp.

JPP temps vary from 41° at Bear Island to 50° at Stewarts creek ramp.

I'm finally done, cleaning fish, packing fish for the freezer, eating dinner, putting the daughter to bed, doing dinner dishes, making fifty one 1/16th oz jigs, and posting the pictures of our catch to photobucket so I can show y'all how we did today on JPP.

We kept 37 crappie, could have caught more. We kept 20 BIG yellow bass and threw back twice that many. We only stopped fishing because we had all the fish we wanted. Fished from 8:30 til 2:00 pm.

We fished Fall Creek on JPP, water temps were from 54-56 degrees and the fish were in 4 FOW.

Every fish was caught on jigs, mostly yellow and white or chartreuse and white.

The yellow bass were slamming the jigs hard. They are a lot of fun to catch and these today had some meat on their bones.

Final tally, I came home with 5.8 lbs. of crappie filet. My partner went home with about 4 pounds of crappie filets. I kept all the yellow bass (most were very large). So I wound up with 20 yellow bass that turned into 3 lbs of filets. So I put up 8.8 lbs of fish filets this evening. Good bunch of filets for the freezer.

Glad you had an awesome day Merv. Good looking load of fish.
