Trip Summary

The crappie are congregating on shallow-water brushpiles, but the bite has not yet taken off. We need some cool weather to invigorate the fish. To be truthful, it was a struggle today to put 12 small crappie, several bluegill, a couple of white bass, and a catfish in the boat. Jigs tipped with minnows were the order of the day.

Fish were equally taken on crappie jigs and crankbaits.

The fish were celebrating this newlywed couple, until pre-frontal winds blew us off Chickamauga Lake early with 25 - 30 mph gusts. Lots of crappie were landed, but only the 11 inch plus fish were kept. Water temp was 68+ degrees, and all fish were taken trolling 10-15 foot depths over 20-25 FOW.
