Tough Day

[gasman]

NW winds suck. My brother and myself spent the day on Ky Lake again. It wasn't fast and furious, quality wasn't great, quantity wasn't there, but we were fishing so that was a good thing. The highlight of the day was a double that my brother caught. 10 keeper crappie, 1 white bass, and 1 channel cat. Lots of short fish and trash fish today. 8 different species of fish.

still a good day. How deep on average. Any males up making beds yet.

3-5 fow. Water temp was 64* so I suspect they are moving in close by now. 2 weeks ago the water was 58*. We didn't try any treetops today but I will hit a few honey holes in the next few weeks and do some single pole fishing.

Wow- 64 degree water. Do u think they are ready to spawn? Im gonna go wednesday. Trying to figure out where to look. Creek channels? Seems all the youtube guys are finding them going up into the creeks.

Typically from years past I'd say it's a little early. Dogwood trees haven't bloomed yet. But both of my hummingbirds were showing 64* today so I guess it's possible.

I caught some black crappies on Friday that were full of eggs

the few i caught friday evening were about the same color water temp about the same. had a lot of problems with the little stripers. id say in two weeks theyll be solid black and on bed.

Watts Bar was also in the low 60s on Saturday. It's definitely getting that time.
