And Mr. Green Jeans stays there all the time checking licenses.

Yep I talked to a guy one day fishing for catfish and he said “ under that bridge there where the cypress trees are I catch crappie there when the water is right” so I know what you mean by the bank fishing. Also, yes the warden and sheriffs have been down there with 4wheelers lately but I don’t mind because I’m 100% legit and I’m not keep anything under size limit. Not worth it

Mo slabs I'm sorry but I don't believe you are catching fish in 3 ft of water right now in the river. If you really are let me know where so I can verify the claim lol. Also about the duck hunting they are right a serious argument will ensue. Duck season is over in 3 days.

Ok, he said he was catching limits right now in 3 ft of water so I was curious. Its rare to do it now but I have done it before. Also the last post mo slabs was talking about sounds like it was recent. To be honest if he was catching them I would like to know bc I'm itching to feel the thump.

I wouldn’t worry about those trees if your catching limits in 3 fow off the river. With all this rain and cold water I’d say you were quite the fisherman to be getting limits up east in that muddy water. I’ve had some fantastic days below the dam in shallow water in the winter but not on the lake side. Do tell

I don't see that, public water is public water. IMO

I’m not catching them consistently in shallow water. I would like to say this was 2 weeks ago and I was catching them all week long. When the water is muddy I may catch one or two but my best luck was when the water would clear a bit and started to drop some. Feel free to Private message me me and I’ll let you know where at
