The big ones were biting today

Wow...I didn't know my name had changed....that's great...I sold my car the other day so I emailed and asked if it were possible to change my name on here....and poof here it is..now I'll have to change my pic.....anyway I decided to give Greer's another try this afternoon....Glad I did....thought I had kept 20 fish but when I got home and counted it was 19, but that's OK...I put back 7 others. Caught them in the same place as Monday. The big ones were on..every fish on the bottom row was between 15 and 16 inches...the smallest fish in the pic is 11 1/2 inches. Some of them had shoulders like linebackers...all had bellies full of shad...wish I had taken better pics but my back was killing me :mad: and it was all I could do to get them cleaned. Did make for a big bowl of fillets though :D

That's a heck of a board you got there. Way to go! Those sure look like some healthy white crappie. And, you better get you one of them clicker thingies...and remember to leave 2 for seed...:D

Good job SS, I mean CastandBlast:D, make me want to stay here this weekend instead of going to Ouachita.

Cast and blast.

Can you provide some info about the lake you were fishing. Depth, type of structure, how deep you were fishing, water temp and clarity etc?

Im not gonna fish your spot, im in Tennessee, dont even need to know the name of it, but just wanted to get and idea about conditions etc to see if they might apply over here, thanks!

Oh and here is a pic of what we caught today, nothing that big for sure! 9-12 inches

Hey SS, Nice catch. Glad to see you are still able to fish. Thanks for the report.

Way to go. Now that's a Mess O' Crappie. Hope the back gets better soon. I know how it can be.

that is a nice mess

Great catch.:cool:

Thanks guys....Creek it was spur of the moment that I decided to go but I almost called you to see if you wanted to take a boat ride but then I figured you were pretty busy getting ready for this weekend.....your right ceb, but I would probably forget to push the darn clicker a couple of times and end up over my limit....and with a ticket!....that is if I could catch a limit...lol....WestTennCrappie....I've been fishing Greer's Ferry lake trolling Bandit 300's in 50'-70' of water along a creek channel with submerged timber. If you ever get over this way I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. I've learned a lot from this site and will pretty much try to help anyone if I can.

Another nice catch there castandblast. You seem to have their number on Greers, thanks for the report and pictures.

...the bite is slow, the water is clear and about 70 degrees. I've been three times this week and it has been tough all three days. When I go fishin' I go for the day; I mean from daylight to dark sos I can get the morning and the afternoon bite...if there is one.

It's been tough around the twin creeks area. How about a report when you return?

If you're plannin' to fish Twin Creeks, I can fix you up with some numbers--just pm me and I'll do what I can for you. You'll need all the help you can get in the clear water.

I'm goin to Harris Brake this week-end for a while just to find some stained water. If Greers was not so dang far, I'd be up there with the Bandits!

BTW, Ms Madeline at Ruth's Bait Shop tells all who will listen; they're hittin' chartreuse Tripple-Ripple, 8-12' deep over brushpiles in deeper water. Tennessee Shad is good and I would carry me a bunch of No. 4 crappie minnows if you wanted to have a chance. It seems the jigs are not gettin' it done--at least not for me--here in the past month. Have a safe and enjoyable trip on the big - O. <><
