Monday Oconee Report 12/7/15

[Hotwater]

I took my youngest son Matt and his friend Kendall Rhine to lake Oconee today. The water temperature was 55-56 degrees when we got to the lake and almost 59 degrees when we left. We long line trolled 10 rods. Matt was in the front with 6 rods and Kendall was in the rear with 4 rods. The fishing was slow most of the day and we only had 14 fish at 3:00 when we got to our final stop of the day. We caught 8 more fish at our final stop and finished the day with 22 nice crappie and we quit at 4:00. Two of today's fish were 11 inches and one was 10.5 inches. The rest of the fish were 12 inches + and the biggest was 13.5 inches. Matt is wearing the Green hat and Kendall the UGA hat. Oh, BTW. Matt caught a nice trash fish I mean striper on a 16 foot trolling rod and landed him without tangling up the other lines. I think they enjoyed their day of fishing. I know I did.
