Catch of the Day Archives

March 12, 2010

Huge catch for a couple of great guys from Chicago. They flew down for a day and a half of fishing and it was awesome. Jigs fished over 16 foot ledges in the powerline area of Big Sandy was the ticket today. Lime green with white tail was our best color.

This one is a hawg! Just fished a half day and had 21 keepers. Fished flats in Bloodriver. There are some giants in here this year.

Today was a little strange. We fished from 6 to 10 o'clock with only 8 keepers then they started. It was wide open for about two hours .Then they just shut down. We ended the day with 52 keeper crappie. All were caught in 15 feet of water on tubes fished vertical.

This is Gene and Darrel from Bell County Ky. We caught there 60 crappie in Big Sandy today. Fish were really fired up today. They ranged from 10 to14 feet deep. A pink/chart Bobby Garland slug was our best of the day. Lots of little black crappie in there now. We must of thrown back as many as we kept.

Weather finally got warm enough for a bass fishing trip. This one was almost 5 lbs. We had 7 other keepers with one more about 5.5 lbs. All the keepers came on bandit crankbaits in 4 to 7 feet of water. The main lake was a couple degrees warmer than the bays but most of our fish came in the bays.

Just a couple of two limits caught on Thursday. Ice was a problem early but cleared out quick. The fish were in 8 to 12 feet and were pretty aggressive. A green tube with clear sparkle tail was the ticket today. Out of 60 fish we had 55 white crappie. Going to BloodRiver tomorrow.

Snow didn't keep the crappie from biting today. I went by myself and caught 30 nice keepers. Water temp was only 37 degrees. Got clients Friday so hope they keep biting.

This weather is terrible just when we get conditions right the snow and rain come back. Gives me some time to put out some more piles. Later this week looks fishable to me so check back for more pix.

This photo is the end of a great day on the lake. We caught 40 keepers and had a great day to do it in. Mostly white crappie in our creel today. Fish were in 10 to 12 feet of water. These fish really moved up with this rising water. Lake levels will crest tonight and start to fall tomorrow.

This is one of 42 keepers we caught in big sandy Wednesday. The bite was in 12 to 14 feet on jigs. The flats had very little action. All the fish came on slight changes in depth around creek channels in the west sandy area. We had mostly black crappie and a lot of non keepers.

This photo was 25 nice keepers from big sandy today. All these came from 22 to 25 feet deep on ledges. Jigs fished slow were the best for us. Heard two other good reports from Bloodriver yesterday. Looks like rain and wind Thursday but I will be back out on Friday.

Fishing was tough today. We snagged this Asian carp below the dam. Hoping the ice gets off the lake soon. Might try Big Sandy on Saturday.

Looks like rain until after Christmas but they bit good today. Maybe the water won't get dirty or come up to much. These fish were 20 to 24 feet. Our jigs had to be presented very slow. Just hovering over the structure was the pattern today.

40 slabs caught before noon in below freezing weather. These fish got deeper today they mostly came out of 25 to28 feet. All were caught on jigs. Stinger tails in purple/chart was best. Only 3 black crappie out of 40. These fish were hitting at daylight when it was only 22 degrees.

Happiness is a full livewell. Twenty nice crappie caught 18 to 22 feet in blood river.
