friday fishing lake mead

[jim.b]

work was a little slow this morning so i headed to fish a little this afternoon. the fish were biteing just not the keepers i had been catching. the crappie are feeding on shallow points been longing jigs to cover a lot of water. when i find a school of fish i would stop and cast. i was trowing a 1/16 jig with a twister tail in blue ice. i also tried some different colors to see if it made a difference and yes some colors got little action. for the afternoon i caught only 6 keepers with one being 13" long. all fish were released. this lake is loaded with 10" crappie but i am having trouble finding the big slabs. this lake reminds me of b/m. loaded with crappie. it is still fun to try out new waters and learn new spots. tight lines JIM.B

Glad you had some fun but the lack of big slabs has me fishing elsewhere.

Really.....Looks to me that CL and Meade are neck & neck with each other for registered crappie citations the past two years. I think you are writing that lake off too quickly. Just my two cents...

If you ask me Id say everyone of the portsmouth and norfolk owned lakes has 15" + Crappie.

Great report jimb, Longlining those 2" curlytails will catch every fish in the lake LOL. All i could do to keep two poles in the water the last 30 mins of my trip. I had 89 casting jigs when i switched to longlining I picked up 32 in a short order
