The Glen 6/29/06 w/pics

I was surprised about getting crappie, but the fish in that lake are very picky...I didn't get the hang of fishing there until my second time and I can usually easily figure out lakes. The crappie seemed to be everywhere I tried. If you want crappie and don't like using live bait, I'd stick with small crappie jigs, like that jig in a tube thing. When you jig, don't be afraid to fish close. Where I was fishing, the water was pretty shallow and I was just jigging vertically with my UL like a foot away from shore and did very well. I had the most sucess with large fatheads...the bigger the minnow, the more fish I would catch. Does anyone know of a baitshop that's close to The Glen? Next time I go, I'm going to try to try to target other species like catfish, using nightcrawlers. There was a guy there that came at about 7:30 and he set up next to me. It must have been under a minute before he had this huge bite. It ended up being this huge catfish. I swear that thing had to be a least 7 pounds. He wasn't even surprised. It was just a basic setup with a nightcrawler about 3 feet under a small float. I can't wait until I go again. I might be going out tomorrow and I'll post for sure if I do. By the way, that crazy guy wasn't there...that area didn't seem to hold much fish anyways and I stayed away from there.
