Chickamauga Lake 5/17/16 Report: Crappie, Bass, Shellcrackers*
I took my wife, Wanda, out for a 2 hour fishing trip. It could have been a little bit longer, but the wind got up and was a wee chilly, so she wanted to call it a morning.
We started off at the #American Fish Tree that we have planted and caught 3 crappie, hooked three bass, landed two of the bass and had the other jump off and stick his tongue out at us. Grin.
Wanda's bass was a largemouth and I had the spotted bass in the pic. We only took one pic of the crappie. They were not big keepers. All fish released to fight another day.
Once again, I am posting a pic of the 8' America Fish Tree that shows a big school of fish, both crappie and bass around it. The 5' tree pic that I am posting shows a few fish around it. Wanda caught her bass off this tree. The trees are about 25-30 feet apart.
Then we went to look at Shellcracker beds and caught about 3 shellies and I hooked a huge bass on a rooster tail that jumped 2 times, giving us a great look at its size. Wanda said that it was a 10 lb bass, but I'm thinking more in the 6-8 lb range. It ran into the only brush top that was in the entire area despite me trying my best to keep it out. I just couldn't get the trolling motor to run fast enough for me to turn the bass before he ran into the brush. They don't get that big by being stupid I guess. Grin.
