Hit Nettle lake on Saturday, 4/12/14 and spent the day. Beautiful day to be on the water. Water temps were 50 degrees, slight chop and overcast most of the day. Got into the crappie in 7 fow among the tree limbs. Used minnows and found the crappie didn't want lip hooked minnows, went to hooking minnows just behind dorsal fin and they tore them up. Ran out of minnows (5 dozen). Fished 2 ft deep on North cove, Southwest corner. Slip bobber and #6 red tru-turn hook. Caught 2 cats and had a big one for 10 mins on 4lb test ultralight and lost it under the boat. Never got it to the surface. Caught 18 in. 2.5lb bass. Kept 29 crappie from 9 to 11-1/2"
