Thread: Decent trip last night

My quest to become a true crappie fisherman has so far been very humbling. It started about 3 months ago when I bought an old boat for my son and I to use.

People are still telling me it's a little early for the bite to be really good on Lake Guntersville, but I'm also reading and hearing reports of people hammering them.

I know you can't catch fish if you don't go fishing, so I'm trying to fit at least 2 trips per week into my schedule.

My son was sick last night so me and a buddy went and tried fishing under a bridge. Right about dark the fog rolled in and it was very thick. It blocked the view of the big full moon.

We fished with minnows and the green submersible LED light that I recently got. Those green lights work incredibly well. Shad started showing up within minutes and within and hour there were hundreds if not 1000 swimming in circles under the boat. We caught quite a few stripe, a couple of white bass, one yellow bass, one LM and I caught 5 keeper crappie. We also kept 8 stripe. Every crappie was 10 5/16" long. Exactly. All were caught on minnards.
