Rocks and Brush

What time were you out there Chuck? I got on the water around 1pm and finally started catching them about 5, right when I was thinking about heading home!

Well, boat49, on Wednesday I was out there from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm. When I couldn't find the crappie in the shallow and the typical buoy marked brush I started drift fishing for catfish. While drifting I started seeing activity on the fishfinder in the deeper water. That's when I went and got just off the buoy marked area in the deeper water. I started catching them around 1:00. They were somewhat slower on minnows but they were pretty good on a jig. I'd cast it out and let it sink to the bottom and then start a medium speed retrieve. Hollower at me if your out there and see me. I'm in a blue and white trihull. Sometimes I have blue unbrella up for shade.

Will do Chuck. I'm in a white baycharger with black and red trim. I saw the Wildlife Dept. working on new fishing docks where I launch in Clear Bay. I spoke to one but didnt think to ask if they were putting any attractors around the new docks. I'm planning on being back out there Wed.

Went out Tuesday. The crappie seem to be really scattered. Couldn't find them bunched up. Tried 5 different spots. Caught a dozen or so. Only seven were over 10". Mostly small ones. Water temp stayed around 65 degrees. Nevertheless, had a great time on the lake.

well went to Tbird this morning and did ok i went up little river and ended up cautching like 4 crappie and 4 perch but i talked to a few people and they said that the crappie fishing was on like Donkey Kong and i seen one guy with a couple of crappie that would have went 12" easy it was one of them hump back crappie

My dad has been knocking out the crappie, him and his wife fish out of a blue xpress, with a mariner i think. Hit him up he has fished dirty bird for years, but he dont mess with computers much. He does exceptional on the saugeye as well. I dont know what area he fishes though. He fishes in the early am, he is off the lake by 9am usually.

Went out twice last week and caught a mess (probably 40-50) of dinks. Only 4 or 5 over 9". Wonder were the big ones went?
