The last trip we made, we actually caught them at 4 -6 feet deep over 40 feet of water with a water surface temperature of 42*. My buddy, who is from Carrollton came in there late that evening with his family and made the third boat of us fishing where we were catching them. Once we told him how we were catching them and he tried it, all you could hear when he would get a fish on was "This ain't right" echoing all over the lake.
Do some experimenting in this area and I believe you'll catch some. Who knows what the rest of the lake would be like doing this. Would love to hear a report if you give it a try! Good Luck!
Thanks big crappie Iam willing to try anything.

What areas do you fish and how are you catching them?
Jigs twithchin'...............................cd
I have mostly fished mad indian creek and the power line .Its going to be mid jan before I can get down there and fish.So keep me informed.
Fished Swagg yesterday and another small opening to a cove off the main river channel. Caught about 50 and kept 23. All over 10" and a couple of 15 inchers. They were biting pretty steady. Caught every one on a drop shot rig with minnows. Fished at 27-38 ft about a foot or two from the bottom. All the standing timber looks good but afraid of hanging up too much. Going back Tuesday to explore some more. Jigs twitchin'.......................cd:D
crappie dog sounds like you doing good.Where is swagg?I am so ready to get down there and do some fishing, maybe soon.
