Super User slonezp Posted October 27, 2018 Super User Posted October 27, 2018 No one wanted to go fishing today. Better for me. Stopped off at Jim's Bait and Tackle to pick up 3 dozen large fatheads (a generous count) and some nightcrawlers. Hit my first area and caught a bunch of small white bass and small largemouth. Didn't want to waste too much bait on fish I couldn't keep. I moved from dock to dock on this 150 acre in the river system catching about a dozen crappies some more largemouth and a couple cats in the 4-5lb range. Even though action was hot, I was disappointed. All the larger crappies I caught came from this spot, but I was hoping for more. I blame it on the lake being overrun with gizzard shad that I was competing with. Next spot was where Jim from Jim's Bait told me to stop by but the river is in drawdown mode and as soon as I hit the mouth of the bay I was in silt so I turned around and hit my last spot of the day. Pulled the rest of the crappies off 2 docks. I used every minnow in the bucket and the 2 dozen crawlers are resting in the fridge. Ended up filleting about 3 dozen crappies 1 gill and 1 white bass 6 Quote
