Well went crappie fishing sat morning....didn't get on the lake till bout 930 because of truck troubles.........put in at lovelady access and fished a couple of coves....didn't catch no crappie but caught 8 perch, 4 catfish and 6 largemouth bass.......lake was a little stained with water being 51 in main channel and 53 - 55 in the coves.......caught the bass in 2 - 6 ft of water and everything else on the bottom in 25 - 30 ft.......all in all it was a good day of fishing......can someone help me find some crappie?

Heard gunpowder creek was holding some in 22 feet. Hope that helps.

yea....i heard that to...had a buddy over that way though and he only caught 1 12 inch crappie.....maybe we just don't know the right holes......just really getting into crappie fishing anyways....takes some time to learn......

It's still a little cold up here and we don't have the numbers of crappie that they have in High Rock, Jordan, TT, and others. In a couple of weeks our fish should be up good. Until then try the banks with jigs and minnows or troll in Gunpowder or Bethlehem. It will happen, just give'em a little more time.

thanks for the input guys......if yall hear anything else please let me know......i know ive heard that the crappie moved up on the banks in Norman already.......so maybe it wont be long before they do in Hickory.....
