Gregory Smith

Member since July 2022 Harrison, United States
Background
I am a Ph.D. Research Marine Biologist with over 40+ years of fishing, boating, and research experience. I have been successfully fishing oceans, lakes, and rivers all over the world and here in Tennessee for the past 5 years.
Techniques
One of my favorite fishing techniques involves trolling with planer boards with both live and artificial baits. I find that this method produces a better quantity, quality, and variety of species. Generally it allows me to have up to 6 simultaneous bait presentations which means more fish in the boat for you!! When the situation calls for it, I also rely upon jigging and casting strategies.

Chickamauga Crappie

Despite the wind, we caught some nice crappie today and kept the ten largest. All fish were taken pulling and pushing jigs and crankbaits at 12-15 foot depths. The largest crappie were just shy of 14 inches.

After a cold (26 degree) start, we had a good trip on Chickamauga today with over 30 fish landed and released. The bulk of the catch was crappie, white bass, and striped bass. Three of the largest crappie were within 1/4 inch of earning Wes TARP certifications. Most fish were taken pushing or pulling tandem cranks and jigs. Surface water temperatures were around 50 degrees.

A cold start today, but didn't seem bother the fish. Trolling crankbaits and jigs at 0.9 - 1.2 mph accounted for more than 50 fish (5 species), mostly crappie (to 14.75 inches) and white bass (to 17 inches). All fish were released, so end-of-day bfish photo. The largest crappie earned Chris a Tennessee Angler Recognition Program (TARP) certificate.
