Crappie Report, Friday, 8 October

[Fireflies]

Put in at 123 bridge, heading to High Point, Fished just prior to entering High Point area along North bank. Fished from 8am until 2 pm. Used minnows and crappie jugs. All fish were caught at approx 7 ft on minnows in water 20 ft deep and over 100 ft from bank (what I would call the old river bottom) around obstructions and tree stumps. The shad were the thickest I have ever seen and seam to go on forever along the bank. Kept 15 very nice crappie, and probably caught 40 plus fish over the day, 1 drum, 1 small bass, the rest where crappie. We fished until we ran out of minnows. Great day on the lake.
