Thread: Laugerty Creek

I can't comment on that creek specifically, but I fish creeks off the Ohio quite often. Crappie have the same habits as with any body of water. Cover and a food source and there will be fish. I jig fish laydowns and standing timber with some good results. The flow of the water and the clarity are huge factors in river fishing. The Ohio is home to some huge crappie that get over looked. But this time of year I'd be chasing the fish with teeth.

Thanks for the info, yes there are some good quality fish. I have never tried jigs, it seems I always go minnows with ggod luck. I awsume your jigs are being dragged under a bobber?

No, single jig fished vertically. The creeks around here, around 8 or 9' deep is where the fish are all year.

I see, the creek I fish has a deep chanel 15-18` deep so I guess I`ll try deep water cover next to the chanel breaklines.

Laugerty Creek been a good bite for the last 3 weeks
this week the temp will drop and the bite may slow,
all fish on jigs water temp 44-46 lite stain @ pool
hope that helps

looks like a nice stretch of creek. other end of the state from me though. be kinda nice to be back in the boat again. good luck!

Is there a public ramp on the bottom end of Laughery? I know of the ramp outside of Auroa near Cole Rd but that gets flooded quite often it seems.
