Super Spring

You can tell it's been a super spring, when every day the fish cleaning stations are piled high with the remains of crappie. Everyone I talk to is a crappie expert. You need to fish close to the bank, you need to use black and chart., you need to use minnows, you need to fish with a cork, you need to tight-line. In other words if you aren't catching fish, you have a problem.

The biggest problem is getting out of the wind. A lot of the spots that the bank fisherman use,(to get out of the wind) are the same ones a lot of visitors to the lake are using. It almost gets too crowded. You need to get a number to fish at the coal-shaft bridge.Attachment 161551Attachment 161551
Here's Delmar with a nice one that got put back.

I know, but it was so big I had to show it twice.

Its good to see ole Delmar out fishing, I havn't seen him or heard him all year. LOL.

That's a bigun for sure. How big was it?

Nah, he caught the same fish twice, so you had to take 2 pictures and frame it the exact same way. Trick it getting the waves right.

That is a Dandy! I hate fighting crowds, absolutely brings out the "best" in folks.

Is there a reason you had your fingers in the pic? Nice catch

he was hiding the location with his fingers.
