Fished the channel between the bay and the river. Sonar shows crappie stacked 5 deep at 10 to 15 feet and you couldn't get them to bite with dynamite. I talked to one guy who was there just after daylight and he got 6 immediately and they stopped. I fished all day and got brim and catfish, threw them back, and not one single solitary crappie. Water was 50 in the bay, 45 in the channel, but water level is higher than summer pool.
Thanks for the report!
Good report! Glad you was able to get out for a bit!
We started to go there but went catfishing at browns ferry instead. Glad we did now.

Not sure what is going on with that high water. Saw that the other day as I drove over the 31 bridge. It is way high for this time of year. I'd bet that is what has those fish messed up.
High water effects the fish down here like that
Fished the same stretch today. Managed 3 in 6 hours. Used every trick I got for them.

Congrats man !!! We're going to try again in the morning. Hoping the water level dropped enough that the crappie settle down a bit and chomp on some minners. Come join us, we'll be there a little after 9 (my buddy is bringing his grandson so we get there a bit late.)
Not a bad idea. Hope the sun shows up.

cold in the morning, but supposed to be warm and sunny, almost 60. I'm just hoping it ain't too windy. I'll look for you in the morning. We put in at Arrowhead.
Went back out today and found a few. Water is still high enough to be summer pool. Channel temp was 47 as was the bay. Found them in the channel at 10', but they were still finicky. Got to spend some conversation with CatchnGrease and his son, too. Great day on the water.
I was a good day to be out. Thanks for the invite. I got a little chilly and had to head home.
