I went out Saturday morning despite 3 big tournaments on Percy Priest. The Frost Bite with 147 boats and a couple local tournaments were fishing Saturday.  I talked to Chris Stites the tournament director and he mentioned less then 40 boats brought it fish, so it was tough. I think 18lbs won, 14 took second and 8lbs cashed a check around 25th place. Again, I wished I would have fished it.  

I found it to be tough also, I had only 9 or so bites all day but I made them count.  I only had 2 fish that would have been short. My best 5 would have gone around 16+ lbs and my big fish was 5.7 lbs and broke off on another around the same size.  I caught all my fish on a Snootie jig that is hand made for me by Bobby Scharber from Sure Thing Lures.  I am not going into too much detail at this time because I have a Bassmaster/ABA weekend series tournament next Sunday on Priest.  Nearly all the fish were caught in around 8ft of water.
Conditions:
Partly Cloudy and windy at times
60 air temps
45 to 51 water temps
dingy water with about 1ft visibility
little to no current to speak of.

      Well I seen several crappie fisherman out Saturday and Sunday. I seen them being caught deep and shallow. I seen a couple guys way up the east fork of stones river past the 840 bridge catching them in the tree with small chartruese jigs. The fish were mostly small ones. I then seen a guy fishing the river channel bend in 20+ ft of water just past the Jefferson Pike bridge. He was using minnows and catching some big crappie. Everyone I have talked to said crappie are both shallow and deep. They said it would be a couple weeks before they moved up and were steady in a shallow pattern.
