Tellico - last day b/f school starts
As it is the last day before Blount County schools start, my wife wanted me to take the day off and take the kids to the lake. How can I argue with that? Unfortunately, no one wanted to get up with me at 5:30 this morning for some fishing, so it was just me on the water. I did take the kids back to the lake after lunch for some kneeboarding.
This morning, the sunrise was beautiful. Very few were on the lake. I was inspired by Pantastic's post from a few days ago and decided to pull some cranks. This summer, when I have had time to fish, I've tried to learn dock shooting, so this weekend was my first for the cranks. I ended up with 7 on the cranks. Before I left, I decided to hit a dock or two. When moving from one dock to another, I came across a small school on the fish finder, so I casted behind the boat and landed a small crappie. Despite repeated casts, I didn't get another. On the way in this morning, I noticed two docks with lights that stayed on all night. I remembered reading here from last year someone saying they had the best luck with such docks. These docks had hundreds if not thousands of minnows visible to the eye, but I didn't get anything to bite. Guess I still have some learning to do. :)
On Saturday morning, my dad went with me to pull some cranks. We spent some time scouting before pulling and only caught 5 crappie. We did get three nice-sized largemouth bass. The way they bent the pole, I initially thought we were hung. Dad surprised me by going this time of year. He normally only likes to go on 70f days in summer after I shown some success with the boards. Anyone else got a fishing partner like that?
Thanks for the rotate, now it's a Great Pic
