Crappie fishing on Chickamauga 2/16/06

[enmreal]

Went trolling in Wolftever today; fish started real slow; two keepers in the first hour; three the second hour; six the third hour; then the wind set in; ended up with 18 keepers with wind driving us off the lake around 2 pm.

Welcome and thanks for the report enmreal! How deep were you trolling today?

 

[enmreal]

The same water you and Richard fished on Sunday; I fished with him on Saturday.

 

[enmreal]

Primarily 10 feet of water; some channel depths to 13', but primarily 10'; trolling at .9 mph; I have a GPS also.

Yep - I believe I may have the fever and just ordered some rod holders and jigs today! Looked like a great day to be out on the water - I think my kids and even my sweetie might enjoy trying it too once I get the system figured out.

How many rods do you troll?

 

[enmreal]

We had six out today; that's about as many as us old timers could keep up with. As you found out Sunday, as my old buddy Denny Patterson says, you could take a drunk from the pool hall and catch crappie trolling; I'm starting to see his point.

I really enjoy trolling for crappie, and it is very effective for loading the boat in a hurry sometimes. I can't handle too many rods either, just too much to keep up with. It is definately a sport for two or more people.
