We caught over a 1000 crappie in 5 days. The fishing was absolutely unbelievable. I am only talking an average of 3 hours each day of fishing. We were using the new Garland minnow mind'r in firefly color. We were fishing the creek in 12 FOW and ranged our cork from 1 foot to 3 foot. If you can find those creeks that are low and almost closed in from the lake you can do the same. Warmer overcast days were the best, we caught them Dec.20, 21, 26, 27, and 28. :)
Was there any size to them?
Yes, one day I caught several at or over 14 inches. We didn't keep any under 10 inches. The white Ice chest with the fish on top is a 150 quart freezer to give you an idea of the size.

Nice fish little Larry, not bad for an ole football coach! Larry Russell told me you come out to the shop the other day and bought some baits, I told him that you were little Larry Newton. He didn't belive the little part! I laughed! He said it was freezing outside and you were in shorts and a t-shirt. I said yup that was little Larry. I told him that big Larry was your dad! EB
I been hearin the creeks are on and your report just varifies it, thanks for the pics, those are some big blacks in there as well!
These are the kinda fishing reports I live for and love to read. Thanks for sharing and especially for posting the pictures. Inspired me to go fishing. :D
Nice bunch of fish Rodbender.
Wow, that's some serious cold weather slab slayin.
Same thing has been happening here over at wister up in the creeks, 2 to 3 feet deep up in the creeks. Any ideas why this shallow with this water temp? By the way great bunch of fish?
Nice batch of fish Rodbender, when's the fish fry?!! :D Looks like you caught them on an Oak ridge...I knew I was fishing in the wrong place :rolleyes:
@Tucker
It's my bet that the water is warmer up the creeks. Probably a lot of baitfish up there as well.
