drumking, chickamauga, crappie, 6/24/09, wanda - FishNews - 06-26-2009
Mrs DK and I got out before the sun rose this morning for a quick crappie trip. We launched the boat around 6:20 and made a 24 minute run upriver to a dock that has been producing pretty good lately. We caught 20 off that dock in 45 minutes, with 5 of them being in the 11-13 inch slot limit that we impose.<br /><br />Then we moved to vertical structure and caught 26 more in short order. We had 46 of the 47 that we caught by 9:00 AM. Then the bite practically stopped. Went to one other highly productive dock and caught my 8th tarp crappie of the year. I caught 2 tarps today. It was the only fish that we caught there and I caught it on the first cast to that dock. The fish today were mainly on a 12-14 count and we fished both 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigs with bg shads in my summertime color. that was the only lure that we tried.<br /><br />I caught one black nosed crappie today. Sort of rare in these parts. Wanda and I kept 13 crappie in the 11-13 inch slot today and released both the TARP crappie to grow into 15,16&quot; size. Hope to catch them in a few more months.<br />I did not show the pic of the 2nd TARP. Wanda didn&#39;t get enough of the vitals out of the frame for me to show it. Everyone would be camped out on that spot for the next month if I showed it. emoBig
