Crappie fishing Chickamauga Lake 4-6-2020

Tim Starnes and I got an opportunity to go Crappie fishing yesterday. We didn't get on the water until about 12 o'clock noon. Beautiful day to be on the water. Tried a few fishing spots and we were successful enough for me to bring home a small mess of Crappie. Water temp. was approximately 65* and Bobby Garland Baby Shad lure on a 1/32 oz jig seemed to do the trick. The Crappie were beginning to change to their tuxedo black spawning color. I did bring one Shellcracker home. Shellcracker is one of my favorite eating fish!

I see that your crappie are specks. Do you guys & gals catch some white crappie at Chickamauga also?
