Somerville 4-8 Crappie/White Bass Report
Did an overnight at Somerville. Started out at 8 pm on Tuesday night and winds were still high (10mph). Did some structure scanning around the island near Overlook and fished some piles I set a few months back. Caught 3 small and one keeper on Jig with minnow. At 11 pm went to north side of lake near Big Creek and sat on a bunch of crappie and whites. Caught 48 total crappie and kept 15 all over 11". Caught on minnows and jigs 8-12 feet down in 19 fow around structure. Also landed 11 white bass and kept 7 over 12" using minnows. The whites really put up a fight! Crappie were biting light and up lifting my line or bobber most of the time. Jig colors were black/char and glow in the dark. Water temp was 66.3 with hardly any winds the rest of the morning. Left at 8:30 feeling good and tired! Didn't take many pictures as I was having too much fun catching them. Did film a video of the plankton and minnows circling the boat from my lights on the side but I have to edit it as it is very big. You could see crappie coming up and attacking the minnows every once in a while. It was fun to have the lights on for a while then turn them off real quick and you can hear the fish attacking the minnows on the surface all around the boat! I turned the lights back on and all you see is little waves in the water where the fish were biting the minnows. It was cool!
