Douglas Lake - 21 Sep 2016

I have not posted in a couple of weeks working on setting up a new ride, still trolling, crappie have been on and off for the past two to three weeks, hopefully the temp will change and the crappie will settle into a good pattern. Leta and I went Wed and fished for about 3 hrs, the nice's day we have had in awhile. We caught 19 nice Crappie, a few throwbacks, and several catfishAttachment 248459Attachment 248460

Nice catch.

I'm going to Douglas Sunday with a friend to break-in his new Alumacraft. We don't plan to do a lot of fishing.


If we trolled a couple hours, what would you recommend?

I have plenty of Bandits, Strike King Bitsy Minnows, and Road Runners. Any suggestions?

Nice boat! Good looking mess of crappie.

Nice mess!! Bring on the cooler weather!!

Not a single fish. Heck, not a single bite as far as I know. WT was 85 degrees.

We didn't try for long. We fished about 1.5 hours. We trolled 4 rods total with no minnows. I used Bandits, Roadrunners, etc. at various depths. Ugly trip, but we didn't expect anything better.

Going early Sunday and really hoping for better results.

I was just curious. If you were in the new alumacraft I think I talked to you all before you launched

At Inspiration Point?

Yeah, that was us having truck trouble. I think we had it started by the time you stopped and talked to us. There were a few minutes there where we were a little worried. We were trying to figure out who we could get to come take the boat back to Greeneville. That would've been a really bad first trip with the new boat. :biggrin Thankfully, everything worked out okay.

By the way, do you know if that Lake View store is open on Sundays? Just curious if we need to hit a different store for minnows.
