Back to spider rigging

[Lance34]

After the last trip I had out I wanted to try pushing minnows or spider rigging an area I saw holding a ton of fish.  

Where I saw these fish is were the river channel meets a creek channel.  

I figure the best way to cover the area was to spider rig.  

I set my lines down to 15-16 feet in 18-20 fow and worked both channels.  

Started at 1pm and shut it down at 4.  Water temp 78 degrees

Number of fish caught was 13 crappie and 5 bass.  The thing is most where shorts.  Guessing the bigger ones are not too far behind?

Fun regardless.  Going to keep doing  this a couple more trips and then pulling my dipping stick out.  

Here is a pic of one of a few keepers I did catch.

Good report Lance.

Put in at 412 bridge today and got started about 11:30 and fished to 3:30.  Water temp was 73 and water clarity was maybe a foot or so.  Not much.

Lake turning over and didn't know.

I already had a bucket of minnows so let's make the best of it.  I went into blue springs for a bit to spider rig.  I wanted some kind of shelter from the wind plus I wanted to see if anything is moving in.

I saw fish right down the middle of the channel  in 18-25 fow and ranging in depths from 25 to 15 feet.  

Later on I went back out to the main river channel and fished brush and lay downs close to the channel

Pretty much like last week except for the excitement of catching a drum.  Several small one's again.
