Reelfoot 4/23

[Tennessee Trey]

I had a couple of hours before dark so I decided to do a little scouting. Hit Kirby pocket at 5:30 and went to the trees. As seems to be the case this spring the crappie just were not cooperating but I kept getting tap taps from the bluegill so after an hour of no fish I switched over to a 1/64 feather jig in chartreuse jig and it was game on! for the next 1.5 hours it was one fish after another.
May is almost upon us and I am going to have fun in the trees whether the crappie want to or not!
Ended the day with 15 or so of these beauties.

Nice. Those look hand size and bigger.

Nothing like a gill on a jig pole

I caught a few yesterday jigging for crappie. Glad you got on some gills because we need something thumping.

Nothing wrong with a mess of big ole gills, the crappie are not cooperating for me at the foot either. Worse year for me in a long time, been fishin some river holes lately and doin pretty good...
