Wheeler Dam 3/22

Put in below Wheeler today, navigated through all the KVD wannabes slinging A-rigs in the current and set out to Blue Water creek first thing. Didn't see much action, I was pulling a jig near the bank and slinging a worm in the meanwhile. Caught one small largemouth and had a dandy one break off in a submerged branch near bank. Moved across river and fished the bluff below Big Nance and located some fish around a tree laying in 20 ft of water just off the bluff. Ended up catching four crappie two whites two blacks, biggest one 15" 2lbs. No complaints here!

Nice Job...Good report.

Good job, nice report

Didn't mention I caught two channels and a drum, and I drifted a big curly tail grub below the only generator running and caught a 2lb white bass. No smallies, hybrids, or stripers.

It's obvious the big one is black crappie, and the white crappie is obvious, but the one in the middle might be a hybrid?Attachment 155591Attachment 155592

The only way to know or sure is count the spines on the dorsal fin. 5 to 6 spines is a white crappie. 7 to 8 is a black crappie. My bet would be a black crappie.

Thanks for the report.
