4-2-22 Hiawassee report

I shot docks amongst all of the trollers, spider riggers and planer board fisherman. I caught fish pretty steady shorts mixed in with the slabs. I managed my first TARP crappie and my personal best Tennessee fish. I fished 3 hours after a late start, a trip back to the truck to get the trolling motor remote. First shot in the water was a 10am. Fish I found holding deep in 8 fow. Ended the trip with 21 fish boated. All fish returned promptly after photos. Attachment 423613

Great trip. The crowds will only get bigger as the weather gets better.

Be a shame to take that fish any time of the year. Especially on the doorstep of the spawn

Sounds like a good trip, what was the water temperature if you remember?

Nice report and beautiful tarp crappie. I release nearly all tarps unless they are injured too badly.

I feel the same. I don't want to harvest a fish that Tennessee considers a trophy class fish. Take a few photos and release it for someone else to enjoy the thrill of catching it.
