Fishing solo Chickamauga Reservoir 12/11/2017
I contacted one of my fishing buddies this morning about crappie fishing. He was already out with his boys so I opted to go alone. But, I waited until 11:00 for it to warm up. I fished for bass maybe 10 minutes and said phooey on this. I'm going to fish for crappie. So, I hit several different areas to see if I could locate any fish that wanted to play. I thought for a while that I was going to get skunked. Grin.
Another friend called me this AM and gave me a local fishing report, but it turned out to be bum scoop. Nothing in the area that he suggested. Sunny skies and wind out of the south about 6 mph kept it cool enough that I kept my coat on all afternoon. I quit fishing around 3:00 pm. I only caught 3 crappies but they were very nice ones and all came off two different bluff structures. 1/16 oz with chartreuse/purple plastic minnow fooled the fish that I caught. One was 13" and the other two were 12" and very fat and healthy. I kept them for the freezer.
I fished roadbeds, bluffs, brush, and blowdowns.
