Pickwick/Yellow Creek

Went to Yellow creek yesterday. Was looking to catch Dinner tomorrow. So was crappie fishing, single poling. Targeting brush piles, Single stumps would mark them on the Side Imaging and then  go back and hit them with a Ky rig or for the younger bunch a Drop Shot rig. Caught dinner, along with a few bass and yellow bass. Hooked into one fish, I set the hook using 4 lb test line 7ft ultra lite spinning rod. When I hit the fish, Moved it about a foot if I was lucky. Then it left Ms heading to  the Tn state line. Never turned it or even slowed it down.

Seen giant schools of baitfish, some would swarm the 19ft Lund and be 30ft wide or better. Seen lots of top water action from around 7am up to 11 am. Almost pulled out the Zara Spook I had in the rod bot. But had a feeling if I did that crappie fishing was over. Marked a few spots that looked good but did not hit them. Water temp at the State line boat ramp was 63.6 degrees. When I loaded the boat up at 3:30pm it was back up to 67 degrees.
