Thread: Report: Chickamauga Lake crappie 6/16/15

Dr Phil and I beat the heat again this AM on Chickamauga lake. We were launched and fishing by 6:30. There was a good feeding period according to the solunar tables that ran from 6:30 til 7:30. We started catching fish off docks to begin with. By 8:00 AM, we had 18 keepers in the livewell. Then for the next 2 hours, it was like pulling teeth to get a bite. We only landed 8 more in two hours before we decided that the heat was plenty for us and so we headed for the rampo at 10:00.

We scanned off shore structures, but didn't find any fish that were willing to bite, so we went back to docks and stayed with them. We did catch 3 or 4 good keepers on vertical structure. Blue Ghost in 1/16 oz was the best color and size. I did catch a few good crappie on 3/32 oz jigs with Penny Back 3" Slab slayers on them. It is a good bait for bigger crappie. The fish were deep under deep water docks today. We did check shallow docks as well, but didn't see very many on the graph.

Thanks for a great report
