| Arkansas Crappie |
I fished the chartreuse tube grub tipped with a tuffy minnow in brush today in the Emory River for crappie. The weather was clear and sunny with the air temp in the 70s. The surface water temperature was in the mid to high 60s. I caught 13 crappie (5 keepers) the best was 13.5" and all of the throwbacks were right at 9 1/2+". I caught them all off one tree on the main river channel of the Emory ~2 2/3 mile up from the junction of the Emory & Clinch rivers on the left bank off an island. All the crappie were in about 12' of water. I also caught 10 small bass (largemouth and spots).
