tried deep water crappie in piney river area today. Marked alot of fish, but no takers. Fished from 9:30 to 1:00 for those over a number of deep brushpiles. 20 ft to 45 ft. Bait, fish, birds, loons, --- about 5 other boats out in the same area. Didn't see anyone catch one. Went out to main river channel and tried crankbait on rock points in 8 - 12 foot. Caught 1 smallie 16 inch. Time to come home. Waiting for TVA to slow the water down to try sauger down at eaves bluff in chick. Tried there yesterday, but with 90000 cfs, no luck whatsoever. Be out again on saturday. Merry Christmas to all!!!
