First spring outing on Percy Priest Lake was a success. Fished the backwater creek channel heading out into the main lake in about 5 feet of water from boat. We had 6 to 8 rods with slip bobbers set down 3-4 feet tipped with medium sized minnows. Caught 15-20 crappie, several bluegill & bass and some yellow bass. One of the yellow bass was Moby Dick's little brother......HUGE. See the picture below with the large yellow bass in the middle. It dwarfed the normal sized yellow bass below it. The water was dirty and around 52 degrees. Air temperature was 38F at first light warming to 50F. Winds were out of the northwest 5-10MPH on a partly cloudy day.
