Oak Hollow Lake on Sunday

I love to fish and like trying different lakes for crappie. It's been years since I fished Oak Hollow, so I decided to try it again this morning. I figured the water temp should be getting warm enough to entice a shallow bite so I retied all my lines for shallow free lining. I noticed the wind building as soon as I left the house so I knew it wasn't going to be easy. After paying the $7 launch fee I began looking for slabs. The first 12-15 ft coves marked nothing. By now the lake was getting choppy and I had to retreat to more protected areas if I was going to have a chance. I finally found a super protected cove but the water was much shallower than I usually fish. The water temps had eased to 62 so I set a double jig cork rig for shallow running and started pulling. Fish after fish, sometimes 3 at a time as I skimmed through the 3-5 ft water. These little tater chips look like alien crappies with little bodies and big eyes! Throw back 6-8 and then occasionally I managed a keeper. I ended up with 18 keepers, 1 catfish, 1 largemouth, 1 carp, and a boat load of tater chips. All in all a fun trip that would be great for kids who need lots of action.

Bet that was fun.

sounds like fun, congrats

Sounds like a fun day. The guy at the marina told me several years ago to keep every crappie we could catch. According to him they are overpopulated and that is why they have no size to them.
