Area;................... Rocky Branch region

Water Temp;...... 79.7

Clarity:................5 to 6 fow

Bait:....................Crawler Harness, slow death rig and flicker shad #7 in avocado and pearl white

Wind:.................. South at 15 to 20

Sky:.................... Cloudy with periods of drizzle

Fish:...................2 Small stripers, 1 White, 5 crappie, 5 walleye and 1 catfish from 5:30am to 2:30pm. No surface activity to speak of today.

We started off trolling in the morning to no avail and then tried the worm harness with only 1 catfish to show for it and a small striper. The wind was to harsh to stay where we were at so headed to a more sheltered area and it was dead slow till about 10am when I connected with a 22'' walleye followed by a couple short ones then a 20'' walleye. We tried that till about 1pm and the bite just shut down on the crawlers so back to trolling picking up 5 nice crappie. Walleye were in 20 to 25fow and the crappie were in 30fow suspended at 12 to 15 when the sun came out about 2pm they sunk down below 20 pretty fast. It was a tough day out there for sure but a good one listening to some Ron White and Blazing Saddles.

J-doc with a handful of Crappie

Excellent report as always F&F. You found the crappie in a similar depth range as I did yesterday. Enjoy your catch this evening.

Thanks, ya they have been hanging in that depth all week ( crappie ).

I did want to note, the crappie with the ziptie is J-docs if you are fishing together its a fast easy way to positively keep your fish separated as to who owns which fish and will save a citation potentially.

That one walleye on the bottom is creepy. He keeps giving men the "eye". Lol
