Green update

[colayn]

Anybody been out on Green in the last few days?
I know it is high, but figure there are still a couple places to get the boat in.

Put in at Lone Valley yesterday. Water was almost level with the parking lot. all the fish are either hiding in the bushes around the edges or hiding in cover 40ft. deep. The ones I caught deep were all shorts. Caught one 12+ casting in submerged bushes. There are so many of them (submerged bushes) hard toknow where to start and you get hung up lot. Water color wasn't bad.
Emerald Isle is open as well.

I put in at Emerald Isle Sat first time Ive been on the lake my son and I had 18 keepers between us.......we threw back 40 or more short fish and he lost a monster Crappie right at the boat. All we caught spider rigging with minnows......they were keying in on shad most were 10 feet deep in 25 feet of water.....we caught most close to the creek channels....when we were in the shad we were in the Crappie...

Thanks for the reports fellows.
I am going to try it this weekend , I hope. Darn rain, it just keeps raising the lake.
I am most concerned about the spawn. Wonder if it is a lose ?

Most fish I caught had eggs........I think they are already moving up in the brush.....I hope to get back down next weekend. They should still be fish on the flats close to the brush.........The fish fry we had tonight just got me started

Deadaim,
Pull up and say hi if you see me. I will be in a blue/grey Skeeter with a 150 Yamaha Vmax on it.
Likely fishing between Butler Creek and Site 1 ramp.

Good luck to you,
