Roll Call

Thought it might be a good thread to get to know where everyone's home waters are located and what type of crappie fishing they enjoy.

I fish the Middle of Chickamauga from the Hwy 30 bridge down to a couple of miles South of the Hwy 60 Bridge. Then over on the Hiawassee some.

I mostly shoot docks, but also fish some set up on lights at night.
Also jug fish for cstfish a couple of times a year.
I am in a Tracker 175 Pro Team with a 4 stroke 60hp Mercury on it.
I am easy to spot standing on the front deck shooting docks and pontoons.
I need to order some Crappie.com stickers for the boat

Same here Jack, I'm mostly on Chickamauga, from Hiawassee to the dam. With the occasional trip to the Watts Bar tail waters with, you know who... I enjoy all styles of fishing for Crappie. Single pole is my favorite, dock shooting, spider rigging and trolling with jigs and or cranks. My Triton is red, kinda hard to miss. [emoji16]

My wife and I fish wherever we can find a good bank spot. This time of year we like to fish from the docks at Monroe Lake but I have been down in the back, so maybe no go this season.

I forgot that I was in the Tennessee forum. I lived in Tennessee for a short time in 1971, beautiful state and always very nostalgic for me.

I went to radio school in Donaldson (Nashville suburb) and loved the area. I went on to spend most of my life working in Television, very enjoyable yet stressful occupation.

Yes Jack it was, exciting most of the time working in master control.
The stress became too much and at 68 I retired earlier this year.

Can't say I blame you. Dad says retirement is really nice. I have at least 20 years to go

I mainly crappie fish from the dam above the Chick to Possum creek area with offshore structure my favorite way to single pole fish. Maybe two times a year I will fish Hiwassee and Watts Bar lake. I used to fish Tims Ford which is a beautiful lake to fish. Deep, clear, and has the reputation of being the Dead Sea. Now that Walleye are showing up below our dams, I am fishing tailwaters for species other than crappie.

I fish out of a blue Tracker 175 TF with 60 Merc. Minn Kota Terrova with spot lock which is invaluable, and a 12” Lowrance graph. The search for new fish, techniques, etc is more interesting to me than actually catching the fish. But I do enjoy catching the fish. Lolol. I probably get a bigger thrill when whoever fishes with me catches the fish and is overjoyed.

I like to see thise walleye and strip photos you post. Walleye are on my to do list. Didn't have them where I am originally from. Caught a white bass last Sunday morning. Threw it back because I had been taught to do so. Then remembered how good you said they were on the table. I will have to start keeping them

I totally understand that. It is the most fun when I am able to take my fishin buddy and watch him hook up than it ever is for me to catch fish. Watching mu children catch fish was the best fun of all!

My name is Matt, and I have a problem :Rofl

TOO LITTLE TIME TO FISH!!!!!!!!!!

2005 Triton SF190, 200 OPTIMAX, red and white. Can't miss it; looks like I should be pulling skiers but would rather be shot in the head than doing so. It's a wife thing. 60mph+ is a no-no. (So I keep it in the 50's when she decides to go) :highfive

When I am able to sneak off, can usually be located on the Hiwassee or WB tailwaters. I like fishing DEEEEP for crappie and generally SUCK for them when they aren't there.

Being a yank, I like fishing for specimens with teeth. Conceded that since I can now catch them here, will likely never go north of the MASON-DIXON line again. And I'm fine with that
:cheers2

The Stratos got retired because it was a little too fast for my wife. I need to learn to catch some of those toothy ones. I am originally from a lot farther south. I miss the bounty that the salt water has to offer sometimes. Thank you for the introduction. It's a pleaure to make your acquaintance

I fish mainly lower Hiawassee and up the Tenn. to about mid lake Watts Bar. Also Tellico Lake. Been wanting to try Harrison Bay but don't know much bout it. My boat is a 2001Bass Tracker Pro Crappie 175, pretty much all stock trolling motor and electronics. It's got a 40hp motor that gets me from point A to point B just fine. When not chasing crappie I also go for walleye, shellcracker and catfish. My grandson loves the catfishing. Like Virgil Ward said " Wherever fish are biting that's where we're gonna go ". Good luck to everyone out there.
