CrappieBeater I'm also hearing reports like that as well, males on the bank here and there, pretty soon we will start hearing people catching lots of fish on the banks. EB

I was back towards the South Canadian River, It sure looks fishy.

I had a report from a neighbor that Tuesday a friend of his cleaned up on big Crappie but he was up in Mill Creek. I have yet to make it up to the creek, those 6" deep mud flats jump out of that channel VERY quickly

I love fishing mill creek as soon as I hav a chance im headed that way. Lady that sold me minnows last nit said they had been doing well at Mill Creek. Bunny Creek was closer so I fished it a lil last nit w no luck but it usually lights up after Mill Creek. Holding my breath= lol
-fishingrl aka stacy

Could someone tell me how stumpy the lake is between 69 highway and the mouth of mill creek is? Usually I would drive around to the mill creek ramp and put in but I was wondering about putting in at oak ridge and running up mill creek from that way...

There are plenty of stumps, but you can't see most of them anymore. I haven't personally ran that stretch in a long time. Maybe someone will chime in with current info.

I have done it plenty of times and I still go very slow. There are only a few very short stretches I feel comfortable going faster than 3 MPH. The channel snakes around and the flats on the side get shallower and shallower as you move up. The channel also has also moved around some with the heavy rains in the past. Last check, the shallowest point in the silted portion of the channel was around 5 feet deep at normal pool. If the lake is 2 foot low you will likely bounce on a few stumps no matter your approach.

Thank EB, I've been out every evening this week from about 6pm to 8pm tossing minnows in water 0'-4' deep all over the Southern Channel sloughs South of the Mill Creek Ramp, headed back to the South Canadian. Getting one here and there but the bite is really really slow to almost stopped.
Dropped a couple of rods out to spider rig all the way out the channel of one back water last night and caught nothing and saw nothing going through 6' to 14' FOW tried 6' -10' deep.

They are in MILL CREEK somewhere (I hear them laughing at me) but I think it's North in the feeder creek side, not down stream.

Well after the crappie.com tournament on Saturday we decided to take the kiddos bank fishing on Sunday. Corks, Minnows, lawnchairs, country music playing, kids reeling in fish, Elsa(our dog) getting in the water. it was a good afternoon. We caught several little ones and 2 really nice ones. EB
