I took a break from bass fishing Thursday to catch some slabs for the freezer with my girlfriend’s 13 year old son. I went by Soddy Tackle to pick up some crappie jigs and so Greg and Mark could point me in the right direction. We fished the lower part of the lake and in three hours we both had our limit. Elijah also caught a 4.72 largemouth on a crappie rig. He was thrilled because it is his biggest largemouth to date and the fight was incredible on the crappie rig. All the fish were caught in three to six feet of water around stumps or brush. We used a float and a small hair jig in white and yellow with a three foot leader. Color didn't seem to matter.
