Took my first trip down to the Hill for the year on Sunday. Fished several mid lake creeks on the SC side mid lake. Caught 16 crappie and 2 bass. Pulled 1/16 minnow head jigs on 6lb test at .8mph. All the crappie were small this time. I knew some slabs were being caught recently, but i didnt get into them this trip. All of my fish were from mid creek and up in 20-30'. Most of them came on junebug/chartreuse sliders. Did get several on a roadrunner head with same color body. Beautiful day and it was nice to catch a few. Threw most of them back. Only kept the ones over 9" this trip. Probably try it again this saturday. Couple of the creeks got very crowded with inconsiderate fisherman. I know it happens in the spring though. Water is still high, stained and 53 degress.
