Green looked really good. The COE said thermocline was around 16'. Down imaging show a layer at around 22-23'. Caught several crappie. Kept five. I painted a red and pink crank with black checks and I believe you could clean that lake out of channel cats. Most of the crappie caught around 14-17' on the river edge of flats and points.
Bluegrass I wish you would clean the out........lol. We have got 34 cats the last 2 trips....and donated a couple cranks to them.
I donated a crank or two myself.
Out of curiosity, what crankbaits are working trolling for crappies at Green?

Seems like they have a different preference from one day to the next, as far as I know.
I used 200's on light braid 30-40 yards back. That puts them around 14-15' at around 1.8 mph. I repainted a lot of them. Other brands work as well. I buy some off brands also. I catch a lot on rat l traps behind planers or sinkers. Silver with a red back will work anywhere. Purple, orange and pink in any combo will work. I paint a lot for some guys in Tennessee just for fun and we are believing certain patterns like head/tail of one color and middle with a different color are producing more with spots, lines or checks in the middle are out producing other patterns. The speed at which fish are being caught with those compared to other patterns is noticeable. At least on their undisclosed lake. Certain colors that have caught mostly monster crappie but haven't been real productive anywhere else.
Coolness. I appreciate the tip. My boat has been doing well the past few years in Southern Ohio lakes trolling Fat Free Shads and Flicker Shads. I typically troll idle speed or even use the trolling motor depending on their moods.
Been catching a lot of cats lately.
We caught two on Saturday that I couldn't resist cleaning. That should be enough for nuggets. We always do better trolling cranks when it's hot and sunny.
Does anybody else think the white bass have hurt the crappie numbers this year?
only got 1 in and 2 came off yesterday
To be honest as i can be 1187mg. I think it is a few things. for one i think the floods and odd weather we have had for the last couple of years. I think the white bass may have hurt the number or changed there patterns somewhat. But i think the #1 thing it is fished to death. 5 or 6 years ago in the winter month if you saw 2 boats it was alot and maybe 10 to 20 in the spring time. Now you may see 50 to 60 boats in the spring. The word has got out about green with the crappie usa tourneys and the other reason is why I started a page on facebook about green. That is all i will say about that.....and lets not forget HOLLYWOOD........LOL Pappy I hope I didn't say anything that you will have to delete and if i did i apologize ahead of time........
I thought the KDFWR had lifted the "fish consumption advisory" on catfish at Green ... but, all current info still has them listed in the advisory @ 1 meal/month for the general population & 6 meals/year for the sensitive population. Though ... they now classify ALL "bottom feeders" in one category, so catfish are included along with carp, suckers, buffalo, chubs, and such.Quote:

(I've heard people complain that the Stripers or the Hybrid Stripers were eating all the Crappie, from locals on several different lakes ... yet, those lakes have many times the angling pressure they did in the past, the lakes are older and losing their original cover, and still the Crappie population & size continues to grow.)
I believe that most all lakes go though many changes over the years. Sometimes it's boom or bust, and sometimes it takes a few years for the population dynamics to dip or rise. Weather, floods, and the cyclic nature of the fish are probably more to blame than another species of fish being present (the exception being invasive species like the Asian Carp).
