Nice fish. Are those homemade rock piles?
Went out at 6:30 this morning to try and catch a mess of Spotted Bass. My wife ordered Bass for dinner. No Crappie, just Bass. Well after throwing double bass assassin, rattle trap and jerk bait for almost 2 hours it was time to catch what she told me not to catch. The water was 78 degrees and I decided to check some of my offshore rock piles to see if any crappie were moving out to them. Only 2 rock piles had fish on them. Not like it will be when it gets hot but I'll take it. The piles were in about 25 feet surrounded by deeper water. I threw jigs letting them pendulum down to near bottom and then a slow retrieve back to the boat. Fish all hit deep and nothing seemed to be shallow. I caught about 25 and kept 10 for dinner. My tape measure was in my other boat so I measured the largest fish with my redneck yard stick which I always have handy. It was a great day on the water with very little boat traffic.

No. They're natural rock formations that show up on contour lines and when investigated you can pick out the most prominent feature which at some point will likely hold fish. Most of my marked locations look like pyramids compared to the rest of the bottom.
This is a screenshot from last summer but I caught fish here today. When I say rock pile this is the type of bottom feature I'm referring to.
Nice report, good to see the fish moving into their summer spots. Hopefully me and Gene will fish Gaston some this summer.
Mustfish, good report but grandson has been catching them in Gaston, will be back next week hope to fish some then, been at Buggs, fish bitting great, catching them up to 2 1/2 lbs, last day fishing we caught 108 with most being good size up to 2 lbs
