Chickamauga Crappie

January 19, 2026

Despite the wind, we caught some nice crappie today and kept the ten largest. All fish were taken pulling and pushing jigs and crankbaits at 12-15 foot depths. The largest crappie were just shy of 14 inches.

Variety of Fish

January 13, 2026

After a cold (26 degree) start, we had a good trip on Chickamauga today with over 30 fish landed and released. The bulk of the catch was crappie, white bass, and striped bass. Three of the largest crappie were within 1/4 inch of earning Wes TARP certifications. Most fish were taken pushing or pulling tandem cranks and jigs. Surface water temperatures were around 50 degrees.

Banner Day

January 4, 2026

A cold start today, but didn't seem bother the fish. Trolling crankbaits and jigs at 0.9 - 1.2 mph accounted for more than 50 fish (5 species), mostly crappie (to 14.75 inches) and white bass (to 17 inches). All fish were released, so end-of-day bfish photo. The largest crappie earned Chris a Tennessee Angler Recognition Program (TARP) certificate.

Spring in December
