Crappie Abroad Cherokee/Tellico
Attachment 220798
Spent the past three days fishing abroad with each day being better than the one before. Went from Tellico Lake to Cherokee Lake and then back to Tellico Lake again. That last stop was almost a trip over to Watts Bar but in the end I opted to go back out on Tellico. Late start on Tellico day one. Around 12:30 before getting out on the water. Checked out some late fall / winter crappie areas without any rewards. Moved on to some other areas and managed to persuade 9 crappie into my vessel. One observation though, the black crappie are really starting to come on in this lake. I've never seen these numbers on Tellico in the past.

Day two. Made the trek (100 miles or so) to Cherokee Lake with Mr. Jump N Shack himself (Scott B.) to find the lake water was lower than the ramp we intended to put in at. Hmm this little detail sent us onto searching for another ramp but we finally made it on the water. We managed to catch 23 crappie out of Cherokee with 9 of those winning a free trip back to madtown.

Another crisp ride on Tellico this morning. 28 degrees on the water will sure wake you up in the mornings. If you want to get some strange looks just get you one of those salt armour face shields and you'll be in business. I mean they'll look for a long time. But what a difference a few days have made. Went back to the late fall/winter crappie locations again this time and sore lipped 45 crappie with 16 keeps. A big turn around from just two days ago.
