Thread: Tomorrow

Degray Lake was a bust today. Caught one and had another one get tangled in the brush.

I'm glad you were able to get a lake fix and pick up a few....did you pull cranks or jigs?

I fished around Middle Fork and Mill Creek yesterday and only caught one dink crappie and one 4lb hybrid. The water is still very cold. Started out about 41 degrees and topped out about 44 at noon. Cured some of my cabin fever though. Can't wait til next weekend although "they" are forecasting more cold air this week.

Did fairly will on black today,from 2 pm until dark,8 ky. bass,20 crappie and one bream.All the fish had that cold looking pinkish color and the bream was almost solid light pink.All were fat and chucky guess from feeding on the shad kill.......good luck

Turtlebait,

Were you fishing in the channel on Black River or a one of the oxbows off of the river? What is the key to finding the crappie on the black. Just fish back eddie's or what? Tried it yesterday with no luck on the crappie, only caught a few kentucky's.
thanks,

Good question. Also what were you catching them on and how deep?

Went back to black saturaday,18 crappie,4 ky. and one gar that I had tail hooked,thought I had the mother of all crappie lol.
Not fishing up in the oxbows nor fishing the main channel either,fishing any slack or small eddies off the main channel.The river is up but is sorta clear for black,water goods good but still on the high side with more current than I like.The jig color has not been imporant,pink/white,blue/white,john deere,wally word,red/white/char,char.,all colors that I tried worked.I use pony heads in 1/32 and 1/16 and bounce them off bottom 6 to 8 inches,sometimes jerk them off bottom 2 to 4 feet and let them fall back to bottom on slack line.Not finding them around brush or logs,finding them in open water with a hard sand or hard mud botton.Caught a 1 1/2 black nose that was hitting minners on the surface in a small eddie with alot of trash floating on top of the water.

Long lining or spider rigging?
