    Default Anyone with rising muddy water tips?


    I went out yesterday to a place on Eufaula where we caught a lot on Tuesday. The water is now much more stained and up probably a foot. We fished shallow, depths we fished Tuesday and even went into 8-10 feet of water. They must've had lock jaw or they moved. How do you go about finding them in these conditions?

    Find the cleanest water in the lake the water I was fishing yesterday evening was 8-10 inch vis. We caught 18 with a jig and cork and rolled another 30 at the boat. When your water muddies up those fish need an adjustment period usaully 3-4 days then they will bits again. EB

    Thanks EB. We did move back into some coves where we had previously caught them. It wasn't as muddy, but still got blanked. Guess that's why it's called fishing instead of catching.

    I like catching crappie as well as anybody but when it floods, like Kaw does about every year, we are not gonna stop fishing. If you have never experienced a 30 to 40 lb blue cat on the end of a rod you don't know what your missing. And cleaned right, there is no better fish to eat out there.
