Still not studying, but I got another crappie report!

Went out solo this morning to Newnans Lake. I usually drive right past it to go to Lochloosa, but since I caught my share there yesterday I figured I'd see what Newnans was up to.

Fished from 8am-11. Didn't keep a single fish but by 11 the counter read 60. Trolled fast in 5-9 feet of water and man was it a workout for one person with 8 rods. Before I could get all my rods out this morning I boated a solid 2lber to start the day off and ended with a total of 3 fish that went 2lbs. Didn't keep a single fish today. The overall quality of fish today was much better than what I caught at Lochloosa yesterday. Last time I fished Newnans was last November of 2014 and I remember all the fish being dinks.

Lake was kind of nasty. Top of the water had a bad green color from algae or whatever. There was also a lot of floating "trash" across the lake. Seems to be the story on most lakes right now.

A lot of guys were spider rigging. They seemed to be doing ok....I'll stick with longlining lol

Nice fish and the weather looked like a good day for fishing...Thx for the report!!

Nice. What colors?

Bubble gum, the blue/orange in the picture, and black/chart.

Nice report and pics.... Kudos on releasing especially the big ones!

Those are some great looking fish, thanks for releasing the big ones, we need more of that. Wife and I caught 93 yesterday and released every one.

You mentioned trolling fast...how fast if you don't mind?

Great post and pix. You in. Now start studying.

Great fish. Now hit the books or you'll wind up like me!

1.3-1.7mph I was surprised at how many fish I caught as shallow as 5 feet.

Great report again, good luck on your finals.
If you were lookin for a degree in fishin, I'd say you'll pass just fine. No need to study!
