This sounds like part of the lake that Barndog, Kit Papermouth and Beagle need to respond too. Later, Ship

Toughest part of the lake to fish that time of year. Indian point has lots of pleasure boaters. You will need to get out early in the morning if you are going to fish that area of the lake. Not much for numbers of Crappie but they are big. Clear water and real difficult. Standing timber is the best best. Place a slip bobber with minnow 12 - 15ft over 15 - 25 feet of water. Keep the bait away from the boat. Trollin' is the best this time of year with small crank baits 10 - 20 ft deep.

Since you're down towards Long Creek. I would go down that part of the lake where there are more numbers of crappies in the stained part of the lake.

Give us a heads a week before you come down. We are usually trollin' open water at that time. We'll have a better bead if they are on the timber or out in the open.

I'll be going to Long/Crickett Creek in a couple weeks. Has anyone been there or know how the fishing is going now? Water temps?

[Kit Papermouth]

Most of Crappie are in the Winter Open Water Mode up on the James. Crappie are suspended over open water or around standing timber 25 - 50 ft. Hard to get a limit.

I don't have any contact in the Long / Cricket Area. Might be doin' the same thing on that end of the lake.

Hopefully things will change in the next couple weeks.
