Shellcrackers?
 

Anybody fishing shellcrackers yet on Priest or OH?

Merv, I checked my favorite beds on OH last Thurs, no fish on them yet. Water temps were 69-70 on the beds, but that probably changed this weekend after our monsoon of COLD rain.

Thanks Walt, appreciate it.

Shellcrackers at Guntersville last week
 

Got into the Shellcrackers at Guntersville last Thursday and had fun catching about 30.

I have found plenty of gills on Priest but haven't found any shellcrackers yet

JPP is not known for shell crackers. Although I have caught a few. Not enough snails.
Caught a few at Center Hill yesterday full of eggs. I believe they will be on bed very soon.

Nickajack tomorrow for Gills
 

Hitting Nickajack tomorrow in search of the gills. Hopefully they will be there! I would appreciate any tips (just general areas-not your honey holes). Thanks and will let you know and post photos if I get them.

Bennett Lake Bennett boat ramp
Marion county park ramp around either area.
Just suggestions.

Thanks for the tip
 

We didn't find the gills or shellcrackers Monday but did find a few nice bass. We put in at Marion County Ramp and noticed several folks fishing just off the ramp. Fished it on the way out and caught a few stripe. I love fishing Nickajack, although it is a long drive from M'boro. Off to Tim's Ford for a Friday, Saturday, Sunday Men's retreat from Church and hope to find a few Wallies!

Went out Saturday to look for gills/crackers on OH. It Took a couple hours of searching, but finally found the mess we was looking for. We only caught a handful of crackers in one spot, but later we hit the jackpot on big gills. One spot/bed produced a couple hundred gills. I'd guess we kept 60-70 of the biggest ones 7-9 inchers... Going to hit them again on Friday to try and put a mess in the freezer while the gettings good....

Wow, Congrats!!!!
I need to quit doing yard work and get on the lake. Haha
