Thread: Fish Report-Jordan Lake-5-20-2016

I was originally going to Morrison Lake but changed my mind at the crossroads of M-43 & 66 and headed to Jordan Lake instead.
Launched at 8:00 and tried some channels first, no luck. Headed to the southwest side and tried shallow and docks....no luck. About that time I got a text from Jerry telling me some of his go to spots. One he mentioned I knew of so headed over. There was a guy fishing that area and we struck up a conversation as fisherman do.
He had at that point about 20 crappie and told me that he put a buoy out and try around that.....5 minutes I landed a 13 1/2" crappie. Another 20 minutes I had 3 more 13+" crappies in the Livewell. Then they stopped biting, like a switch turned them off. About a hour later and the bite started again.
I ended up with 10, our newly made friend had about 25.
I am buying some newer electronics for my boat soon and have the ancient fish finder on this boat so I have no idea on water temp, however depth ranged from 7' to 16'. I tried to hang at the drop off. 1/16 and 1/32 ounce jigs (pink, chartreuse) and minnows with a bobber at about 5' is what I did. Caught about 8 bass on this too.
These are the first fish I have caught with the "new to me" boat..... Curse has been lifted.

No gills Jerry. Sure is a lot of bass on the beds though....they wouldn't strike with a minnow in front of their nose however.
