Went out lookin for redears today on Ky Lake around NewJohnsonville TN. No luck. Water rising fast and temp was only 61 at the surface. Cool east wind and showers too. Did manage to pick up 9 crappie for supper though. Water needs to warm up for crackers and gills IMO.:biggrin
It won't be long
I'm in NC....been catching the panfish left and right.....
Lot of them Shell Crackers in Alabama at Guntersville, Sportsman Lake and at Neely Henry. Get some Red Wigglers and fish at about a depth of 10 feet.
I fish mine on the bottom for shellcrackersQuote:

Monster!!!!! very nice cracker!!!!
Those things are huge. Curious about how good the shellcrackerfishing is around New Johnsonville Tenn. I've been in that area crappie fishing for the last several years, but never caught any of those. This is the 1st year I didn't get to go in sometime.
World class fish right there, those Suffolk lakes are the Cracker Bombs!!!
That things about to bust!
