Calling all guides...

Not sure what the vegetation is just your normal looking seaweed looking stuff. The water is pretty clear.

Hey, NJ

When you lived down here did you ever fish Big Creek?

The godfather of fishing claimed that only 10% of a lake contains fish and 5% of a river. Also 95% of fish are caught by 5% of fishermen. Boat hunters get lucky sometimes while fishermen score. Hit them at the refrigerator door and you’ll seldom miss....Not a guide

[Buzz]

I understand now.... I should get me a couple sticks of dynamite and find the fish. I've heard it works well. Not willing to go to jail to catch fish so I guess thats out of the question.:o I must be really Ignorant or just plain dumb because the previous post sounds really cool but I have no idea what he's trying to tell me.:rolleyes:

I don't think he knows either.

Just about everyone that is over 50 and has fished all their life has read something Buck Perry has wrote. He was the first to figure out how to pattern troll. And the refrigerator door where you find the bait. Find their food and you find fish. And Rick, this is not a slam on you, but that Hydroglow I bought from you did not work. I Chalked It up to damage in shipping. I also cut my Christmas vacation shot to come back and take you and your nephew out fishing on Lake linear. I couldn’t get hold of you because all your records on this site were erased. I still will take the two of you if you are ever in the area again. Be nice to see him tangle with a be one. Do a search on Buck Perry . He wrote some very dry but good books and you can apply it to crappie.

Crip, I Always Heard 98% Of Fish Were In 2% Of The Water. Buzz Never Heard Of This Lake, I Reccomend On Longline Trolling Jigs To Find Fish And Cover Alot Of Water. I Also Would Try Sinking My Own Structure.

Crip, when I shipped that light to you it worked...Heck it was almost new. You should have called Fed X about that or told me BEFORE this...heck now I can't even call Fed X about it. Wasn't this like 18 months ago or around that? This is the FIRST I have heard of this. My phone number's on EVERY one of my posts...Been that way for awhile now. If that light didn't work when I had it, I would of never shipped it to you, I would have tossed it in the trash.

I noticed the bridge was across the narrow part of the lake. Buck Perry's books are great, even for today’s anglers. Yes, I am over fifty, 62 to be exact. I have fished for Crappie, White Perch to me all my life. Crappie will be at that bridge at some time of the year. Leave your poles at home and go explore the lake, find structure, build brush piles, and bait them. Cut any kind of brush and put it in that lake. Any type is better then none. It does not have to be PVC. I view the rule about 10 percent of the lake holds 90 percent of the fish like this. Each area of the lake with changing water depth and structure as a lake within a lake. So that area, be it a mile square, or a hundred yard square having a population of fish. Now where are 90 percent of the fish in that area? They have shallow water, they have deep water, and they have structure from deep to shallow. Do not fish the whole lake; fish the area as a lake in a lake. Am I making any sense? Take the map of the lake draw a circle or square and go fish that lake. It works for me. Let me tell all of you I do not consider myself an expert at anything, so don't take me wrong here.
Good fishing

I'd go to the mouth of everyone of those creeks feeding into and check the depth there. This time of year they will be in the deepwater. you say the bridge by 98 is shallow...well there ya go, you JUST eliminated ALL OF THAT area.
