Thread: Great day on Melton Hill!

I have never fished Melton Hill, but it is on my bucket list. Love the report. Crappie fishing like riding a bicycle. You never really forget how to. Grin.

Well, I did have some pretty nice “hook sets” on some structure and tried to crawl my lure over some bites the first hour or so, haha! It did come back to me pretty quick. I also figured out that being in my late 40’s means it’s time to get some hi vis line!

...don't feel like the Lone Ranger


Nice sack of fish right there...poor whites look badly outnumbered up there. I've heard a little something about the Musky's up that way but never been on that water.

There seems to be more black crappie on the lower end and more whites on the upper. Never cared much for the musky. TWRA killed a world class striped fishery when they quit stocking them and began putting in the musky. The late 80’s early 90’s produced dozens of 50lb plus stripers.
