    Default Oconee


    Hey guys

    I was out on Oconee last Sunday and shad was everywhere but no signs of crappie. Are the crappies still on the main lake? You guys having any luck with them? I tried everything from long lining jigs and pushing minnows.

    Welcome to the board, oconee seems to be getting fired up. Right now most are being caught pushing jigs tipped with minnows at mouths of the big creeks in submerged timber. If you have graph look for big balls of bait fish ,the crappie are usely right in the middle or just below them.with the cooler water temps fish are beginning to move more shallow,casting jigs like a garland minnow or lake fork baby shad with a 1/32 or 1/16 jig head into tree tops and slowly working back toward the boat (try different retieves till you find what they like) is also a good method this time of year. Been a couple weeks since i been there myself but plan to go with gtojoe sunday! Good luck see you on the water!
    Minnows are for kids<<<update this statement is being reconsidered!

    I haven't caught fish that nice since this spring at Oconee. We are having a J&D Pot Tournament @ Oconee this coming weekend. Those will look good on the scales! Check us out. Web site is in my signature. Congrats on a nice catch.
