Any of ya`ll fish there Fri, or Sat., besides the storm that hit Sat. anyone got any reports.... water level, water temp, and crappie bite ?? Son an I are heading down tomorrow for a father-son day and I wanted to know how things were ?? Will be putting in at Holmes Bend.
Was there wednesday and thursday. Water level is good to go but with the scattered heavy showers and the swollen river I ran into a wall of big floating wood at the opening to the big flats north of Holmes. It had worked its way to Ramp One by thursday afternoon. I caught a ton of small fish with a few keepers in the mix. All suspended in 18-30 FOW. No definate relation to wood, I caught fish in open water and near brushpiles both. I also landed a 3.5lb largemouth on a minnow on one of my 12' BnM Pro Trolloing rods for any out there questioning how they will handle larger fish-thought I was hung up on the bottom. Good luck.
thanks for the reply, know what ya mean landing that bass. On a recent trip to Guntersville, I landed a 3.5 lb bass with a 10ft pole, UL reel w/8 lb test......pole was a big U and my drag was clicking good !!
Them BnM pro trollers are super. Bro-in-law landed a couple of 27" stipers on cumberland a couple of weeks ago on an 8 ft with 6lb cajun red line. Landed one myself on 4lb. mr crappie. Did find a few crappie as well.
my father and i went today and we caught about 10 or 12 fish and only had 2 keepers...we were on the robinson creek side of the lake and the temp was between 59 and 60.
