You get more than 50 yards from a bridge and it's not. Even when I go at night, cawhop, cawhop, cawhop as the cars go across. I own an 18 wheeler trailer repair shop. I hear noise ALL day long, 5 days a week. I am not going to listen to noise while I fish. I even tried fishing under the bridges with ear plugs and still don't enjoy it. I like to catch crappie, but fishing for me is as much about having peace and quiet while spending time with my son or friends as it is about catching them.

Looking good Mitch! I can drive north for 45 minutes to get to structure, I just wish I could find some down here 15 minutes from the house......

Here, the crappie will remain in deep water through the month of January... and it's into February before they start making their transition into shallower coves and creek arms. Perhaps you should give the much deeper water a try... after all you have little to loose and much more to gain in your trying. Good luck to you.

I fished Eufaula three times and Martin once the past month. Martin is a different animal to me altogether given it’s a deep lake in relation to the other water I fish regularly. Having said that, I have found crappie in Eufaula on brush and stumps near creek channels. Early, they seem to suspend 7-8 feet over the structure in 15-18 feet deep. On Martin we found fish tight to structure in deeper water - 12-15 feet. They didn’t bite near as good on the martin trip but I attribute that to the front that was passing through at the time.

I am with coach on this one. With a full moon believe they feed all night. Hate try to night fish when a full moon is out makes some tough fishing.

Glenn is spot on about the short strikes during a full moon. Stay after it.

Wind from the east, fish bite the least. Wind from the west, fishing’s the best.

My dear sweet Granny who passed away many years ago use to tell me that when she'd take me fishing. I think I got my love of fishing from her.
