Green River Report 01/03/09

My sons and I had a great day fishing on Saturday at Green River (Holmes Bend) Caught probably 50 nice crappie and kept 15 of the biggest ones which averaged 12" . Had one over 14". They will taste good tomorrow night for supper. All were caught at around 8' in 12-25' water and really close to cover. Five of the keepers had eggs. I thought that was odd but figured they were left from fall spawn.

Take care
Tony

Thanks for the report, I have been wanting to get there but have been to busy working.:)

... there is no "Fall Spawn" in KY. Those fish with eggs are just females getting ready for the 2009 spawn ;)

Congrats on a productive trip !! Gotta git my sorry butt back down to Green River Lake, and find out if my old spots are still good for some Slabs :D
