Did some exploring today on Barren River Lake for some testing on techniques on structured Crappie but when you see Bass blowing up in grass you just can’t pass up a Top water opportunity. Then using the Outlaw Crappie Poles 7 foot Patriot rod , STATE LINE BAIT CO. Baits and K9 Fishing Products 6lb clear put big numbers in the boat and all where released!

I have been exploring and testing the waters of Old Hickory Lakes extensively over the past few days. This time of year allows one to discern the origin of the best quality fish, whether from brush or man-made structures. Documenting conditions like pressure and clarity can refine your angling expertise.

With water temperatures reaching the high 70s, Crappie are transitioning to their Summer pattern. Following several color changes, B money from STATE LINE BAIT CO. emerged as the winner, utilizing 7-foot Patriot Outlaw Crappie Poles paired with k9 fishing line.
