Got moved into new house......still lots of unpacking to do. But decided to take a little break today and do a little scouting trip to one of my crappie spots at Nickajack. Well the crappie are there....hallelujah! Caught 13 today...could have had the limit but had to get back up the road. All crappie caught on a Bison colored Trout Magnet using 2# test line and 2# test fluorocarbon leader. The fish were all holding tight to cover. They were located at all depths of the water column....21 feet deep....but if you didn't put it right next to a shelf...big boulder.....they weren't moving far to get it. Had two fish right at 13 inches and one 10 inch fish....rest were 11-12 inch fish. All fish given to a gentleman who needs them far worse than me. Nickajack crappie are really thick bodied fish....lot of fun on 2# test.....so for the next 6-8 weeks will be tearing up I-24 from Murfreesboro to Nickajack. It will just get better next couple of weeks. Funny now that I have a boat still fishing from bank....at least for crappie.....these spots have produced extremely well for me and just can't give them up. Life is good!
Very nice trip. I say this every year. Never fished Nickajack but I really need too. I still need to look for you on sat images to see if I can find your honey hole
