JohnP Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Only had a couple hours to kill before wanting to get into a tree so thought I'd do some trolling for walleye. Put in at Shadowrock and went down starting just above Barker Hole and making it down to Johnson Hole. Unfortunately the Walters have elluded me once again but did manage to a find few crappie, some decent gills, and a few short kentuckies with flicker shad. Trolled along chunk rock banks keeping the boat in 17 to 20 fow. Took home 5 crappie, biggest just under 15 smallest at 11 inches, after releasing the first 3 thinking it was a fluke and didn't want to mess them ;). Lost 2 at the boat trying to BassMaster em over the edge and 4 that threw the hook while being reeled in. Johnsfolly, nomolites, Royal Blue and 4 others 7

duckydoty Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Strangely enough, I have not got into many crappie yet this year. Not bad for 2 hours. Looking forward to see what this winter brings on Upper Bull Shoals. JohnP 1 A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
JohnP Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 I was pleasantly surprised to get into them like that. Graphed them suspended at about 12 ft in 17 to 20 fow. Caught from 2pm to 4pm. Caught on #7 flickershads on the the neon blue with black stripe and the lighter blue with chartreuse and white just straight trolling on 14 lbs mono at approx 1.6 to 2.0 mph. Terrierman and Royal Blue 2
