Fish today from 7:00 AM till 1:00 and only caught 3 crappie casting jigs.
Seen plenty fish on the sonar. Fished the flats, and the normally good deep brush but nothing.
Seen lots of boats trolling and spider rigging.
Just curious if it was tough for others as well or just me
Colayn,
I fished from about 6:45am till 12:30 and got 26 keepers. Had to quit because i ran out of minnows. Went thru 300.
Spider rigging the flats. Going to try and get back down in the morning. Good luck.
I wasn't catching much either then started pulling cranks and longlining and started burning them up, ledges were most productive fish were stacked in 25+ fow try different techs and methods and you'll find what is working at the moment and then hang on and enjoy the ride.
Yea, I need to try other things. Just like casting so much , hard to break the habit.
Kinda figured it was just me, normally do well on Green in the summer, but yesterday was humbling.
300 minnows !! Whoa Chucky you spend some $$ if you bought all those. I buy some for the kids sometime , there around the lake they cost almost $2/doz
Hope you got a high volume discount :)
Good luck to all
Sometimes the fish have their way of humbling a fisherman, and it happens to all of us at times. Better luck next time.

Colayn,
If i buy them the day before i go i can get a 1 lb. for $12.50. That is about 250 minnows. If i wait and get them that morning they are $7.25 per hundred. I get them at Green river bait
and grocery. Holmesbend sales them at the same price per hundred also.
Colayn,
Pulled cranks in the same general area you normally fish and was picking up some nicer fish in the 12" class and a 7lb channel cat. A whole lot of people spider rigging, single poling and longlining jigs on the big flats. Only a couple trolling crankbaits and one guy was running dipsy divers upward of 3mph which is a first that I have seen on Green. The bit slowed down about 10:30 and I ran past Holmes below the bridge and only caught one fish but was marking all kinds of fish spread out on the graph but I don't know what kind they were. The shad seem to have spread throughout the lake at this point with huge balls of them 50 yards long in some places-I've had good luck hunting the shad this year and when I find them the crappie are close.
Went left of site 1 today cranking 3 of us limited out pulling about 200ft of line in 50 ft of water had a few 13s and 3, 14. Pulled wiggle warts and bombers, my brother was using wally marshalls and bandits, bandits caught more, but alot more short fish. white bomber was the best for the day. every 14 was on the bombers.
Hey slabslayer1. Just wanted to know how fast you were trolling. I have never trolled for crappie. Also what size line do you use. Thanks.
kygofish here is a little tip. slabslayer1 is full of it. he just got bored, he has been on the lake for 3 or 4 weeks.
