Thread: Limestone Bay Gravel Pits

Yep. I was planning on going Friday. And was considering changing my plans for Saturday because I sure would love to go. But don’t think I will now. Lol

And if I remember I’ll do that this summer. They are sure pretty fish.

I've caught quite a few decent sized bluegill at limestone my last couple of trips over there. None of them were world records, but they were bigger than most of the crappie I've caught this month.

And I have to agree about Saturday. If I go this weekend I think I'm going to explore some new water near my new house.

If it’s not to bad I may try duck river Friday. DB will this make them leave or will it still be good when the water goes down and clears?

The old rule is fish feed ahead of fronts and shut down with bluebird sky's after. I can still do ok in shallow water because there's no where for them to go. With no deep refuges they move to shade (bluebird sky's) and cover. You can't make them eat, but shallow water fish seem to always be eating if there's an opportunity. I'd be concerned that duck creek crappie might move deeper and with no thermocline to limit them that's a very deep lake.

At least at Madison County Lake they're limited to 30 feet and many should be near the brush piles. I might only get one or two off any brush pile, but at least I know where they'll be. Just my two cents.

Limestone may be ok also, depends on how much more rain we get and how fast the water drops and cleans up by Saturday. I'll probably decide Friday night, but if there's any chance I might still go to Limestone.

By the way, Crappie will stay in Limestone in good numbers until the water temperature drops into the upper 40's. More water for a few days will just bring more bait and Crappie into the area.

Makes a lot of sense sir. I’m bad about not taking the obvious into consideration. Was just thinking maybe it wouldn’t be as muddy as some places.

That's why Madison County Lake is my go to after heavy rain. It typically doesn't muddy much and has limited cover. The couple trips I've made to Duck River, there's cover everywhere from sticking out of the water all the way to the bottom.
