Thread: Coosa River Report

Went to Coosa yesterday and had my best trip this fall. Im sure I caught over 40 that were 10 inches and bigger. My biggest was 1lb. 12 oz. My livewell began getting too crowded and I began culling out the 10 inchers. I had 3 out of 4 rods at one time with fish in boat. Its been a long time since I have seen Crappie this agreesive. I was bottombumping minnows over structure in 15 ft. of water. Water temp ranged 61-63 degrees. I fished from 8-3 and the bite was still ongoing when I ran out of minnows and it began to sprinkle rain. I had a friend call me about 11 and figured I was fishing today and wanted a mess of fish. He agreed to come down to ramp and I gave him my catch. Normally when I am bottombumping structure I will pick up 1-3 Quality fish on my first pass but today I had 2-3 fish on each pass. What a day!This old man was worn out at end of day. One I want forget. I feel several factors were favorable yesterday. Front slowly moving in-61-63 water temp-water was down 3.8 ft.-little wind-falling barometer-bait fish have moved deeper- fish holding at 15 ft. on and near structure but want bait moving slowly. Once I got my boat loaded and started home I took time to eat my Lunch I had in boat all day. Good Fishing All Bottombumper

Sounds great Bottombumper. We need to hook up one day and let me go with you and figure this spider rigging out. Great report my friend!
