Norfork Lake crappie catch

Here's a happy couple just back from crappie fishing on Norfork Lake. They have had just a fantastic week of fishing. This stringer and the smiles on their faces testifies to that. They ended up fishing the same hole as yesterday and caught twenty fish with 10 keepers. Check out that 14 inch slab! They were using crappie minnows with a small weight and also used twister tail grubs. They started fishing this morning before the sun came up, but found that the fish did not start to bite until the sun had warmed up things a little. There bite started around 8AM. In addition to the crappie they played with a Zara spook and caught many largemouth and Kentucky bass.

I fished awhile this morning and got into some top water action. I caught several Kentucky bass as well as white bass. It was non-stop action for about 1 1/2 hours. The whites were in the 1.5 - 2 pound range and many of the bass were keeper size. I put them back so they're here if you want to come and catch them!

The Norfork Lake conditions are the same as I wrote yesterday, except for the clarity in creeks and coves. We had a quick 1/2 inch rain today which made the creeks flow quickly. It should take a couple of days for the creeks and coves to clear.

Happy fishing and see you on the lake.
