FINALLY!!

This winter’s Crappie fishing has been a tough one for me. The fish have been schooled up the past few weeks and catching good fish proved to be a challenge. Yesterday, I finally found some good fish that were acting like they should be this time of year. This was the best day I have had on the water since November 25 (the day I hit a deer on the way to Lake Oconee). I started fishing this morning around 10:00 and found the fish to be scattered and moving into shallower water. Most of the good fish were caught in 10-17 feet of water. I caught several small fish but was able to catch some good ones as well. I long line trolled with 8 rods. Some rods had double 1/16 jigs, some had a single 1/32 jig, one rod had a 1/32 jig and a 1/16 oz split shot and one rod had a 3/32 oz jig head. I used curly tail jig bodies on 6 rods a Bobby Garland Blue Grass jig on one rod and a Charlie Brewer Pumping seed on one rod. I found fish from 5 feet to the bottom. The water had a good stain which helped. It was a great day on the water. If you watch the video I hope you enjoy it.

Good video. An enjoyable time on the water. Thanks for sharing

Good video work! Thanks for posting

Great video. Makes me wanna go fishing. As soon as my boat gets out of the shop I’ll be hitting the water longlining too. That’s my favorite way to catch 'em.;):slight_smile:

I understand how it is to be broke down during peak fishing season. My truck was in the body shop over six weeks and I had to stand down. I missed most of the good Fall bite. I hope you get going soon and are able to “catch up”. The time is now!
