Nice birthday at Nickajack!

[Alphahawk]

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my 65th birthday than going fishing. Arrived at Nickajack at 8:00 a.m and left at 12:00 p.m. The bite was constant....even though around 10:30 a.m the wind got up to gusts close to 30 MPH. It drove all the fisherman off the lake...including me eventually. I caught around 40 crappie today. More than enough measured out for a limit of 15. The big boys have not shown yet...hoping in two weeks to catch nothing but 12-14 inch fish. Used a Bison colored Trout Magnet fishing the same as before.....12-14 feet deep on a ledge wall. The retrieve was very slow with a slight twitch. The setup today was a Major Craft FineTail Banshee Area Trout Rod 6' 7" UL....love fishing the JDM rods! When the crappie hit it feels like a bolt of lightning hits your hand...LOL. The line used was SOS 2# test. Just another fun filled day. Going to take a break tomorrow and will hit it again Thursday. Life is good!

Juice, catching is a simple thing. This is evidenced by the fact that you and Jimmy occasionally get one on the line.
Locating fish is the difficult part of fishing.
At 69, I am still trying to locate the fish. They ain't where they used to be.
