Barren Fork 05.08.21. Caught a black nose

Attachment 400780Attachment 400781

Caught my first black nose (that I can remember - prob caught one as a kid).

Got in to a few crappie on the Barren Fork this past Saturday. This one pictured was almost 11 inches. Thought it was a bass when it first hit haha.

Caught most on a white jig with a spinner attached on 4 pound line.

Caught a few bluegill as well.

Didn’t see anyone else back on the barren on Saturday afternoon late. We had it to ourselves. It was nice relaxing evening.

At first we were going to keep and cook a few but we let released to catch again another day.

Very nice congrats on a good day

It takes a while to get to know the area, but I love Barron Fork, especially above the bridge.

Nice catch....

Good job!

Those are some pretty fish

Thx for all of the nice replies. Meant to say....no sonar or depth finder was used to find the fish. Just sitting on the boat and casting a line out....finding the bottom and then reeling up slowly.

Caught most in abt 3-4 feet of water. Hanging out around some cover (logs and brush).

I would however like to learn how to use my depth finder and sonar. Hahah

hey DB - you are right. It does take a while to get to know this area.

I have really enjoyed it though. I have started to remember where certain logs, stumps and brush piles are from seeing the rise and fall of the water.

I have also started to remember my bug spray! Haha

I have taken my wife out...caught fish in a certain place where I had seen a sunken log and then gone back with my son and told him - “watch this” - and cast right where I knew that log was laying and BAM.

Fun stuff...

Yep, a half limit is a sure thing once you learn all the stumps and logs. Where you see the angle iron sticking out of the water use to hold brush I put in. I need to cut some and reload those areas.
