Kayak Trip Report, Barron Fork

I went to Barron Fork today. Dropped some PVC fish attractors and spent most of the day marking stumps with my GPS while the water is low. I caught about 40 Crappie, and several dozen Bass and Gills, all Crappie released but 5 that swallow my spinner or were hook deep. I had three Crappie that were between 15 and 16 inches. I plan to release all my Crappie until after the spawn, my freezer's full and maybe there will be a few more little Crappie next year!

The wind has rough, but I still had nice day. All fish were caught on a 1/32 spinner with a white twister tail. Basically when I saw a dark spot that was a stump in about a foot and a half of water I'd start by making a few cast before paddling up and marking it with my GPS. Water was clear and 65 degrees.

Good job Ditch not surprised you got on em

Way To go DB .good report!

Nice report on the catch and release!

That's a fun day of marking stumps with the extra fish biting! WTG

I've never really tried throwing a small spinner at stumps before. The Bass and Catfish were a pain, but it was actually a lot of fun.

I really like to throw a road runner that way.

After I put the first Crappie in the cooler (he kept flopping on the surface after I released him), I kept a dozen or so large gills and three catfish. The Crappie had started darkening some and two had bloody tails, all ended up being males. The spring mating dance has started! :HandsClapping
