Thread: ENO CRAPPIE

Should pick up once we get into October

2 days in a row last week I seen different boats fishing close the the bridge on Red Mill. I stopped by the ramp Monday afternoon. There was a guy pulling out. He had been fishing up river. He had a dozen or so in his live well. All were small but at least we know there are a few there.

BUZZZZ

I had planned to fish up there all week but only fished Monday because of the rain. Caught 2 keepers all day! Saw several other boats but no one else was catching anything except the guy that was catfishing with persimmons !!!

I went up yesterday to see for myself. Only 1 keeper and a bunch of small ones. I'm gonna give it 3-4 weeks before I go back

I had planned to go today until I looked at the radar this morning!! Have every intention of going tomorrow. Were you jigging or using monnows ??

Spider rigged jigs.

Tried again yesterday. Real slow !! Picked up a couple of dinks and 2 keepers all day. Half a dozen boats there when I put in- all were gone except one when I came out. Still too early I guess.

Don't think the crappie run this year is going to be anything like some past years. Two of us fished yesterday and only had 4 keepers at the end of the day. Worked the Neuse from the first powerline to about a half mile from the tressel. Full parking lot when I got there and only one was still there when I came out. Didn't talk to anyone that was catching.
