A little report for anyone interested in the Chick River:

I was out for about 2 hours on a falling tide yesterday afternoon. I had the t-holder on the front deck equipped with 2- 10' poles, one of each side of the boat, and the side holders set up with 6' poles. Double 1/24 oz. jigs on the long rods with BG shad and single 1/16 oz jigs on the 6 foot rods with Kalin grubs. I long lined in 9-11 FOW (about as deep as was available with the tide out) and picked up 5 crappie around 10" and one bonus striper that hit one of the BG shad. Lots of bait in the channel showing on the depth finder. Crappie were caught in the channel off the mouths of creeks and were not tightly schooled. Long stretches of water with no bites.
