Lake Gaston Question
Good Afternoon NC Friends,
I have never fished for crappie in Gaston before and I was wondering how many of you folks have and what were your experiences. I do not believe I have ever read anything on here about LG, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Tight lines to all.:D
Sorry, I did a search and found some information; however, doing a quick scan it did not look good. So, if there is anything at all that you folks can share I will appreciate it.

I've fished Gaston for cats, white pearch and bream, but not crappie...yet. I have friends who fish it for crappie though. From what they tell me, the fingers on the north side of the lake from Lizard Creek east (toward Roanoake Rapids Dam) is pretty good fishing. Good luck and let us know how it went.

Well, very first thing Saturday morning we found a dock that had ~13' water under it, right on the edge of a drop down to 18'. Started out with minnows under the slip float. Second dock post I throw to and immediatley the float goes under----NICE FISH. At first I thought it was a "greenie" but then I saw it, GOOD GOLLY. Got it in the boat, 1 lb 13 oz. & 14.25" long. Darn, missed the citation by 3 ounces. Ok, we are off to a good start---NOT. We did not catch another crappie all day! I tried everything but to no avail. Then yesterday the wind was howling so we didn't even try.
Water temp was ~67 degrees, wind out of the north @ way too much!
Oh well, it was my biggest crappie yet so all was not lost. I did mark some good stuff with 997. I will have to try Gaston again----that can't be the only crappie in there.
