Thread: Kayak Trip Report, Forest Ingram Lake

Oops, fish pic or it didn't happen.

Great report DB, thanks!! Congrats on two great days on the water.

Back to Forest Ingram today and another limit. The fish were slow this morning, so I changed over to single pole on isolated brush in 24 to 36 inches of water, I caught endless short males with the occasional larger Crappie mixed in. I had been using the Zman WormZ in Chartreuse but changed over to the Purple Haze on a 1/30oz jig head. Males and females were tight to the beds together. I couldn't get close enough with a jig and bobber and the fish refused to move off the beds or chase a bait. Single pole allowed me to drop a bait on top of the nest often catching a male follow immediately by a female in the same spot. Females haven't spawned yet, but trying to get a female off the hook would often cause eggs to come out so they're very close. Pic later tonight or maybe tomorrow. My back is bothering me so I might wait till tomorrow to clean them.

Wind had to be tough. I thought about coming after I got off at 12 but it was stout then.

Crappie just don't seem to bite if the weather is perfect (for the fisherman), LOL. And yes.........the wind was brutal; that's the main problem with my back and shoulder.

You should still go early tomorrow. There were two larger boats a kayak and a canoe on the lake today. All seemed to have catch at least a few.
