Chickamauga Fishing Report 5/23/19 Solo

With all the pro bass guys on the lake almost didn't go this morning. But decided to go anyway, with having to work this weekend. My first and only spot today where I sat for about 3 hours pulling crappie and one spot into the boat. All the while, bass guys fishing all around me, some even asking to fish beside me. I just smiled and said of course, and kept netting the crappie while they were coming up empty. The action wasn't fast just steady. The brush pile is in 22' fow sitting in the outside bend of a submerged creek channel, the fish were at around 10' deep when I started this morning around 8:30. As the sun went higher the fish went deeper. When I put number 15 in the livewell the fish had moved down to about 18'. Caught several fish in the 11" - 13" class, though a TARP still alludes me. Water temp on the surface was 78.8 at noon. Being deeper brush I used 3/16th litewire hook, the colors for the day were BG baby shad 2" Screamer and BG Slab SlayR 2" Gumdrop.

Nice fishes, Mr S. Grin. Better than we did today.

Nice fish!

Congrats on a good day!

Great catch, on vacation now but when I get home the deep bite should be on, and I will get after them in much the same way!! 11-13 inch are the perfect eaters!

Nice morning of fishing. :ThumbsUp

Nice catch, I had a few of the pros circling me thinking I was catching bass drop shotting. You should have seen their look of dissapointment when they realized I was crappie fishing.

Now that you mention it, that's probably what they were thinking. I watched a couple of boats ride by on several occasions, checking out what I was doing. [emoji16]
