Default Center Hill Crappie.

Had doctor visit this morning but after that headed out to Center Hill Lake to do a little bank fishing. It was a post cold front.....windy...bluebird day at the lake. If there was ever a time to fish a Trout Magnet for crappie today was the day....meaning usually after a cold front a smaller lure works better. I tried twitching and lost 3 fish in quick order...had a left to right wind and a 10 foot bow in my line. I lost those fish in 3 feet of water. Time to fish the TM under a float. I put on an PanFish EZ Float and set depth at about 2 feet. The crappie were holding on chunk rock....not 4 feet off the bank. Used a Bison colored Trout Magnet with a chartreuse 1/64 ounce TM jig head....line was SOS 2# test and rod was Tict Ice Cube Rockin’ Drift 6’9” UL Mebaru UL. I ended up with 10 black nose crappie all in the same year class.....12-13 inches. For those who have never fought a 12 inch or better black nose out of Center Hill using 2# test line and an UL rod it is a real treat. The water was really stained in the pocket I was in but out on the main lake the water was clear. I did not keep any fish today as my son and I are fishing in the morning.....going with my nephew Friday.....and going back again hopefully on Sunday. So Saturday will be a fish cleaning day if all goes as planned. The good news is those crappie today...while full of eggs....are not in spawning colors. So they should be around a couple of more weeks...hopefully. I have fished this spot from the bank for many years....most of the time the crappie return to same spot year after year. Lot of fun today......Life is good!

Regards

PS. This Tapatalk app is buggy...sometimes it will only let you upload one pic...which it is doing today for me...so there will only be one pic. Don’t feel like going to the full site and resizing pics.

Wow. I fished most the day on 4/4 and couldn't find a crappie. My grandson said forget you and started fishing for bass. He had a great time catching smallmouths. All in about 6 fow and a small crappie jig. Out fished me but that's ok. Maybe this weekend crappie for me.
