Skunked tonight boys
Hanging up poles until. September. Too much work to do anyways.
We in them dog days of summer now. It's hard to find fish on the river right now.

Yes it is getting very hard to find fish willing to bite right now. Be safe and don't get too hot out there.
It has always baffled me why they are so hard to catch in summer. They gotta and do eat, same as any other part of the year. Lord knows that I'm an apprentice amateur (yep, I'm that low on the pole) when it comes to crappie fishing so I have a lot to learn even in the peak of the bite.
They feed on really small fry. I watched some crappie feed on little small fry on a dock light at Martin last year.

That's probably accounts for why a squirrel hair jig is so deadly during the summer months, they're small and look like those tiny fry you saw Glen.
I have been skunked last two times out - one at night. Hard to find them right now but I suspect they are deep (20'+).
Was told by a fishing buddy today he and his partner caught over 100 last Sunday. He found them in 30 FOW.
Yes. 30+, night time fishing over night we do great around bridge pilings. Tight line minnows with a #4 split shot about 8" above a #2 Aberdeen Sickle hook, without a green light/set at around 10ft. Just a head lamp and a florescent tipped pole. Good stuff! My buddy caught 39 last night in Guntersville, Brown's Creek area. Just let your jig sink to the bottom and reel it back extremely slow/or minnow set at about 10-15 ft and you'll be good to go.
I have no faith in those digital fishing apps. Alternatively, while commuting to the boat ramp, if I note deer and cattle actively grazing, I have hopes the fish will bite. Not surefire, but it makes for a optimistic conversation with my fishing partner.
Yeah, me too. Sucks that my fishing partner goes off those apps. I just enjoy going. I wanted to go tonight to Guntersville, but the weather is supposed to be bad. I would hate to get set up and here comes the lightning ... not fun. I might just wait a few more weeks for all this mess to clear on out.
Fished a bit under Blackwell's bridge on Jordan Sat night with green lights 40 fow, alot of shad schooled around the lights. 1 catfish 0 crappie!
