Based on how successful my 1st trip to Arrowhead was, I headed back down today for some crappie action.


I fished much the same way as I did last trip, except based on what I had learned, I didn't waste any time exploring and headed straight down to the mouth of the channel around the deeper water where I had had good success last trip. The water was about 2 feet lower, so the deeper water was a must.


I fished the same as last time with minnows under a cork in the blow downs. I immediately started pulling in the fish. I concentrated most of my day fishing the same 2 or 3 blow downs with solid success. I played a bit with vertical jigging and pulled in a few, but minnows were definitely the name of the game.


It was another solid day. I ended the day with 33 crappie (16 keepers) and 26 assorted bluegill, etc.
