Back to Limestone Creek today, fished from daylight till about 2PM. I caught a dozen bass, a dozen catfish and about two dozen Crappie all returned except one Crappie I deep hooked. Kept half a limit of Gills and 6 or 7 nice Goggle Eye, I think their actual name is Rock Bass. Fun day again on Limestone Creek. Best bait was a 1/16oz Cutie spinner. Photo later when I clean them.
Great job DB, obviously you found some shade to stay out until 1400
I kept the fish on ice till this morning, too hot to stand in the sun and clean them yesterday.

They don't look as good after a night in the cooler. One note, there was discussion on the forum before about the Blacknose Crappie. About 70 percent of the ones I catch in Limestone Creek are Blacknose. They're from different year classes as well with fish ranging from 6 inches to a 16 slab inch that I released yesterday.
This one swallowed my spinner. I tried to get it out clean, but he was floundering on the surface later so he went in the cooler.

Were you out on the big water or up in the creeks?
miles upstream from the lake. North of Old Hwy 20.
Limestone creek must be the long ear sunfish capital of the world, I dont think i have ever seen so many caught every time you have gone there and they are a lot bigger than most you see. They must run the bluegill off HAHA
Saw where you had your car parked on Mooresville; you went upstream from there?
Yep, I only had to get out of my kayak a couple times and drag across a gravel bar, but there are many runs that are only a couple inches deep.
Nice
Ditch, Nobody can say you don't work hard for your fish. You should teach "Crappie Fishing North Alabama 101" for $$$!!!
Like I've said before. The areas I fish don't hold a lot of Crappie or any fish for that matter.
But, the places I go have fish that will be born, live their entire life and die without ever seeing a lure.
At least until I show up, LOL! :biggrin
Now you fishing in my favorite place. I've dragged a flat bottom over them gravel bars a lot . Best stringer I've seen in my 45 years of crappie. Came from back there in those gravel pits. You the man doing it in this heat. It is peaceful back there. You no that point you put in on, was a road that went all the way to the middle of the creek. Before flooding washed it away.
