one of those days that make you love long lining!!!

If you long line you know what I mean. I fish with 6 poles and at one point this morning I had one pole in the rod holder, one in my hand, 4 laying on boat and 7 crappie flopping around my feet. An unbelievable fishing day today! Caught my first fish a 6:10 am and had my 30th fish at 7:45 am thats like a fish every 3.5 minutes. I think during that time I might have managed to get all my rods out 5 or 6 times. Most fish came two or three in a row. The pic is of the fish after I threw them on the floor of the boat to count them because I was catching them so fast I lost track. I stayed fishing until 11:00 and it was steady but did slow as the day went on. Morning bite all came on black and chartreuse and after sun was fully up lemon lime worked great. Water temp was 50 degrees and depth was 5 to 13 feet. speed was 1.0 to 1.2 in shallow water and .8 to .9 in the 10 to 13 ft range. fish moved deeper as the day went on. I have no idea how many I caught, but I'd guess in the 70 to 80 range. was on Logan Martin.

Wheres the rest of the reports. Come on alabama board, I know some of you were out fishing. STOP being crappie.com lurkers and post your results and pics. Attachment 151931

Going to Guntersville in two weeks for a week of fishing. I hope the fish are biting as well north of you. Should not be that much difference in water temps????????

You had a day some people only dream of. Congratulations and keep up the good fishing. Ferdi

Great job man. Gonna try them Monday myself.

I believe those crappie saw you coming and just surrendered .What a day congrats to you..

That's the way to do it.

Was tied up with the CRCC meeting. Out of action the next two weeks traveling.

Attachment 151974 We caught 31 trolling on Guntersville. The Bassmasters were respectful of our trolling and gave us room. We returned the respect and did not troll close to where they were fishing. Color did not seem to matter but the bite did slow around lunch. We caught fish in 6-8 FOW trolling around 0.8-1.0 mph.Beautiful day on the water.

Just a little maybe, now when I went to the back of clear creek it was real muddy (that was Friday)

usafret99, great job. I'm in Oklahoma and not many, if any people, long line here. I would like to try it but only have some BnM BGJP poles (10'-12') and BnM doesn't recommend using them for long lining. Can you or someone advise me on these as I don't want to spend a lot until I see if I can be successful with it here in Oklahoma. Thnaks

You have had an awesome spring so far. Keep it up, congrats on a phenominal day on the water.

I guess you could buy a few cheap rod holders and use your bnm poles anyway a long with bass pole s or something if you have them. When me any my buddy started years ago we bought the individual rod holders and just screwed them to a 2x4. You can do a search on here for long lining and find several posts on how to long line.

Good job!!!

Those are the days that keep you coming back.....nice report..... Heading to Weiss in less than 2wks looking very fwd to seeing Bama again, love the south.

congrats on a great catch

I mostly just cast jigs...what exactly is long lining

Put long lining in search block you should see a lot of information
