Fishing Report - 11/28

[packersooner]

Targeted crappie for about six hours from Twin Bridges down to the other side of Birch. Could only manage one LM, one keeper crappie, and a small white bass. The crappie and LM came from a main lake brush pile in 30 fow on a jig. We tried creek channel bends near bluffs, brush piles, bridge pilings, and timber...anywhere from 15 to 40 fow. The guy I fished with mainly fished a jig & minnow or straight minnow and didn't even get a hit. Water temps were in the upper 40s. Spent a decent amount of time cruising creek channels scoping for schooling shad and crappie. While we did see a fair amount of shad balls, they were fairly small and scattered. Nothing like the huge schools you get in the dead of winter.

Not sure what we were doing wrong. Did talk to one gentleman at the launch who had done fairly well along a bluff and in brush piles.

Thanks for the report. I had thought about going today but thought this change in weather might have turned them off. Was the water in that area still pretty stained? May go on Thursday, it looks a little warmer.
