Wow! All of a sudden the specs have arrived in great numbers. Although NC only allows you to keep 4 fish over 14" the fish this year are 20" size. I went 4 times this past week and limited out each time. Top water for the first hour after light and then sinking twitch baits thereafter. They hammer the top water baits and literally knock it out of the water. I just doesn't get any better than that unless we are crow hunting. Get them before they move on........
I love when the fishing turns on like that... I'm waiting for the cold water crappie bite here.... all the locals at the lake I fish say come January a limit of 2.5 - 3LB crappie is common...
I will have to pull surf and turf outtings... crappie with as side of crow..
You know how we love the fishing to turn on, well it has turned off here. Water temps are in the 30's and people have been dipping the trout. That's when it is time to quit and wait for the next run of something else to arrive. Guess I will have to try my luck at your sport, Crappie fishing. Cold water is the deal for those guys, RIGHT?
Yeah for some reason crappie like colder water but 30° .... dang that is coooold.. our lake water is 42 and we are having a major shad die off which is feeding all the fish so our bite on everything but blue catfish is scratch at best.
