I've fished all over that area for many years, and I still have no idea which spots y'all are referencing when you say "big pit", "first pit", "middle pit" etc. To me, it's a couple of creek channels with a bunch of connected backwater. Throw in a 3 or 4 landlocked ponds and a handful of gators, and you've got the area everyone calls "the gravel pits."

Here's and overview of upper Limestone.
When the water is up it all looks the same, but when viewed at Winter pool with the water down five feet you'll quickly see the areas we discuss. I've marked the three main "pits", the Limestone Creek channel that always has some level of current and the old Limestone Creek channel that only has water moving when flow is high after a rain event. There are numerous other pits that only connect when the area is flooded that also have fish. This area always holds Crappie year-round except Dec - Feb when the water is at low pool and in the mid 40's and colder.

Thanks for that, DB. I've always just been confused on what was being called what. I thought that flat north of the "big pit" on the creek channel was probably the big pit. Anyway, thanks for clearing it up. I've fished all over it in my kayak, before that my canoe, and even before that from the bank. I'm sure I've fished there for 15-20 years.I just never knew what was being called what
