Came up short on the docks

Shot docks this morning and caught 12. Largest was just shy of 10 inches by a quarter of an inch. Fog didn't burn off until around 10 am. Water was down almost 2 feet. It had been falling all night. Water temp was 73 degrees in tbe main river. 76 degrees in the back waters. Fish still preferring pier built docks. Found nothing under the pontoons or floating docks. Iused 2 colors of Bobby Garland jigs. Chartreuse and Bone white and the Blue Ice. Left when the wind made boat control impossible and the storm clouds where rolling in

Where are the pics?

There is the only one I photoed. It was in the checker showing it was close to legal size and it flopped out. The others went back in without photos trying to weed through to the 10 plus inch fish. Talked with several fishing for crappie with nothing but short fish. Ran into the Game Warden be said nobody was catching much

Better than workin !

Stay at it with the cooler temps it will get right in about 2-3 more weeks !

I went fishing. I was only hoping for the possibility of catching and eating

Pretty much the same for me today. Was good to get that monkey off . my back though.

Keep at it, things are changing and soon you will be on the big devils. I imagine the leaves are starting to change for you by now.

nothing wrong wiht a dozen eaters like that. No biguns but at least you were ketchn and doing your thing of shooting docks!

10 inch minimum here. So all these were short/ throw backs. Still great to be on the water. Wasn't until lunch time until I saw a wake boat

Thanks for the report. Fishing is getting better.

I am happy to be finding fish. The size will pick up as the water cools

GOOD JOB :cheers2 Hiwassee probably wont be right for a week after all this rain :banghead

Last 2 out of 3 times I have went to Hiwassee they have pulled 2 feet of water out the evening before. Turned those 5 foot deep docks into 3 feet deep quickly

Old guy but new here. Reading the posts here I don’t feel as bad now. When the experienced fellows are having it hard I don’t feel as bad. I was wondering to myself why is it when I am trying to catch crappie I end up catching bass. Well go figure. I am glad dome if you guys are catching.
