Nickajack day two.

[Alphahawk]

Hit Nickajack this morning. Caught 45 crappie on a Midnight Blue Thunder Hawk Micro Dancer, using a 1/16 ounce Double Cross Jig head using rods strung with SOS 2# test line. There was no wind at all. It was really nice feeling the "thump" when they hit the jig. I was using two rods today. I tried out my new Major Craft FineTail Banshee 6' 7" trout rod today with the same lure and it really shines. It is a trout rod but the action is perfect for crappie. I kept a limit of 15 crappie....but gave them to someone who needed them far worse than me and headed home. I forgot my Hawg trough today but the box I have them on is 11 inches long. My biggest fish I figure was over 13 inches. With the others being 12 inches....or very close. These fish are still out in deep water and as one can see are not in their spawning colors yet. The fish I cleaned two days ago that had eggs were mostly all yellow...a few had some red streaks but not much. Life is Good!
