Take it easy on the coffee out that way, I hear it can have tasty additives that are brewed in the area.......

(We did catch a few 12-13" fish but it sure feels weird keeping 9" fish coming from KY Lake 10" minimum) ...

Doug sure does make that crappie look small
He doesn't have to make it look small, because it IS small.Quote:

This was my 1st chance to troll cranks in water up to 50 feet deep. Looking at lake maps, I had little idea where to start. Luckily Adam (Dutch 522) had fished the lake several times and pointed Rickie and I in the right direction. Of course I started out on ledges but when we started catching good numbers of keepers on flats (25-40 feet deep), that where we ended up concentrating our efforts.
We were disappointed not catching any walleye or muskies (Adam did catch an 18 1/2" musky). Saturday I got onto a channel cat pattern and we took 6 NICE channels to the cleaning station for the fish fry. Catching channels 15 feet deep over 35-40 feet of water was something different. Fishing Green and keeping over 60 keepers in 2 days gave me a lot of confidence to look to other areas on KY and Barkley to run the cranks.
Saturday Rickie and I were into so many fish, we rarely reached for the net. We had a livewell packed and started not even measuring a fish. We caught no telling how many 9-9 1/2 inch fish that we just tossed back without even keeping count.
Green is a beautiful lake with many rock walls and some awesome formations. We all had a large time.
Thanks to everyone for making the Spring Fling a success. I hadn't fished Green for about four years so it was nice to know that at least some of my old spots still hold fish. Day one was a banner day fishing
solo in the camo Triton joined by Doug and Rickie in Doug's boat. Big fish were a 13.5" white and a 12.5" black, caught countless fish pulling crankbaits all day. Bonus fish was a 18.5" muskie early in the morning. Day two was off to a slower start for me as the bait had moved quite a bit but once we landed on them, the cookie cutter 9 1/4"-9 1/2" white crappie were steady. Three nice white bass rounded off the day and it is nice to see them making a comeback in the lake.
The fish were surprisingly still suspending over the deep flats and not relating to significant structure. Crankbait trollers and planer board fishermen should be having a field day right now. Do your homework, put in a little time to cover some water, and you'll be rewarded with good numbers.
It definitely wont be another four years before I return. Already looking forward to next year's event. We'll hopefully see you guys this fall at the KY Lake fall shindig.
Thank you Adam for your help and information. I caught 18 this morning before the wind push me off the lake. The wind so bad had two foot rollers. There come over front of boat time to go in. It was good to meet you Doug and Rickie.

Good to meet you Doug. Thank you for information and the seminar I enjoy it very much. Went Sunday morning had 18 on cranks before the wind got so bad had to quit.
LittleJohn
John, don't take this the wrong way but I had to laugh when you mentioned 2 foot rollers. 2 foot rollers on KY Lake is a calm day. Try some 5-6 foot rollers where you have to look up to see daylight between waves.Quote:
