Fishing Report 8-14-12

[rntmvp6]

Took my son out today. Put in at CC and ran toward Birch. It started raining very early and the wind kicked up as well. Decided to start crappie fishing at the start. Found fish in standing timber in Birch and out along the main river in 10-12 foot of water. They were at the bases of the timber and never found any suspended. All my fish came on a jig red body with chart tail and a white painted jig head. Cuaght a few shorts but most were 11-14 inches and made a nice mess of fish. After a few hours I got tired of getting my 5 year old untangled from the timber so we started throwing shallow square bill crankbaits for bass. We found a large school of 13-15 inch bass and caught about 30 in an hour in about 1 to 4 foot of water in a small pocket not far from CC boat ramp. The fish were on medium size chunk rock bank with wind blowing into it. All in all for the weather conditions had a great day and left the lake with a excellent mess of crappie and 1 nice catfish that was fooled by the crankbait.
