Thread: Navigational Channel Crappie Fishing

I live near the navigation channel close to Webber Falls. My suggestion would be to fish the back water areas off the main channel. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. Anyone closer to this area fish the channel?

I fish it, but I can only seem to catch the small ones. I've heard of some good Crappie coming out of those oxbow's, but I just haven't figured the big ones out yet.

I mainly put in at Afton Landing. There was someone on here who used to fish Bluff Landing quite a bit, but I don't remember his screen name.

Do yourself a favor especially if you use live bait go somewhere else the lil ones will eat you alive about 1 out of 20 is a keeper I dont like these odds I fished it all my life

I agree with George, you can sit on one tree and catch 50 dinks and not one keeper; however, some days we come out of afton with a load of nice slabs.

Ive found that if I use large or even brudders minnows I can get alot more slabs from the slews on the channel. Doesnt always work but it has made a difference in the size of the crappie I catch there. I use to have a great spot located up river untill they decided to dredge the slew out for the barges.

What water depth do you normally catch them in in the summer time?
