Back out this morning searching for crappies on Big & Little Allison. After trying several brush piles, we had only 2 crappies. Marked what we thought were crappies but they would not hit minnows or jigs. So if the crappies would not bite, why not catch some perch. Tried a bunch of the usual spots in 20 to 25' but only caught a couple of small perch. Moved back around to Big Allison around the power lines. Here, we were in 25 to 35'. Finally started catching perch on minnows & spoons. Had some good size perch mixed in with the small ones.

Water temperature was around 70.

Ended up with about 30 perch, 2 crappies & 1 bass.

Looks like the fishing is still tough on Whylie.

Thanks Mr. Charles for the update. I was thinking of fishing around the power lines tonight if we went. Should have been more crappies in those brush. Glad you made it out.:fish

Thanks for sharing your trip and catch.
I know how you feel about crappie all over brush piles and cannot catch them sometimes.

Enjoyed the report and you still ended the day with a good catch after the slow start.

Charles, I am out of town with no internet except on my phone and it is spotty. I will post your picture when I get back to Lexington. It keeps hanging up when I try to post picture.

Put in around 3:00 on Friday with the wife and the dog. We stayed mostly from Windjammer back towards Nivens and didn't have much luck either. A couple small bass over brush. Moved out into open water right at sunset to fish a ledge. Within 5 minutes we were doubled up on cats. One pulled the hook straight before making it to the boat, the other was a throwback. As quickly as it started, it turned off again. Nothing came back to the table, but I can think of worse ways to spend a Friday afternoon.
