We got FORK'D....Again

Hickory Nut & I got a late start yesterday morning.....mainly cause I let the front graph at the house
Hit our 1st set of trees around 9am....had around 6-7 in the box.
Moved to some short scattered brush in 19-20 fow and started sticking fish approx. 1-2' off the bottom.
When it slowed down, we headed to another tree in 23 fow next to a creek bed.
On the way, past an icon on my graph of a tree that was loaded and marked a brush pile 20yds from it that was loaded.
We stated that we would circle back and hit them after fishing to 2 spots we were headed to.
Past the tree that we were headed to and the graph lit up
We immediately started piercing some lips
When it slowed down, HN stated we only needed 4 more to complete our double limit
Moved 40yds to a large laydown, also loaded.
Didn't take long to complete our limits, but they were biting so good, we stuck around for another hour, catching and releasing fish

Never got the boat on plane, nor left sight of the ramp.
There was lots of schools of 1.5"-1.75" shad swimming around, so we used Mini Tadpoles in Lime Glo-Treuse & Citric Acid
Here's a few pictures










Belinda & I may got out tomorrow and check out the 2 spots that we never got back to

Good stuff Todd and HN.

You know it's a good day when you are passing on trees loaded with crappie to fish OTHER trees loaded with crappie. Must be tough to decide which loaded tree you are going to stop at.

Awesome haul there. Great thumps-ville. Real Nice!!

Man, you and Joe are putting a hurting on them crappie. Good job guys.

Love those pictures.

Wow! Great job!

The quality of fish has been great this summer on Fork. I can't wait to see the next few years with the excellent spawning habitat we've had the last 2 years.

WTG guys, good fish!
Looks like a good time alright.
Sure beats workin'!

I noticed the really small shad also on area lakes.
I will try a mini-tadpole!
Sure seemed to work for you guys.

Nice!!!

You two stop it, y'all make it look easy.

Getcha Some Fellas!

Great trip.

After I cleaned the fish a neighbor said he had been out for three hrs that morning using minnows and caught two catfish.
I spouted off and said I think I know where some crappie will eat those minnows. I took him out at five and we were back in with twenty by seven. I have the xi5 and stood behind him and as he pulled in a fish I would take it and hand him another minnow. He didn't even give me a tip🙂

very nice gesture sir HN!

Congratulation!

Man take fish off and bait the hook! Did you clean em too?? If so I might have an opening this weekend! I'll even give you a tip! Don't leave any rib bones in the fillets! My wife is done if she finds a bone in her fish!

Awesome post. Good job.

Sounds like fun! Nice pictures!
