We fished all afternoon trying to catch crappie concentrating on deep water, mostly bluffs. We used the usual baits (BG Shad, crappie stinger) with 1/16 oz. leadheads and even tried 1/8 oz. where the flow was stronger. We hooked a total of 4 fish and boated 2, a nice 16 in. spot and a small bluegill. The other 2 fish felt good, but came unbuttoned before we saw them. The flow was around 14K cfs, no wind to speak of and water temps between 39 and 43.5, the warmer temp being below the Nuke plant. We put in at Chickamauga Marina and fished all the way to the Nuke plant area. No photo, forgot the camera.
