Thread: Murray 2/16/08

Nice Crappie --sorry we missed but I did talk to a older guy who said he knew you.I was up Lil River---caught some crappie but I saw a lot being caught every one said it was a off day.I was at the horse shoe.Going back out this morning trying to get enough for a fish fry for the Race.GO GORDON!Everyone I saw was using pink 6-8 ft.I will post on how I did later this afternoon.I did talk to several guys that said Greenwood was bad off--too much water??

I am new to this board and know very little about crappie fishing, can you please explain a little about why too much water is bad?

the fish scatter and are a lot harder to find.

Are the fish not headed in towards the docks? I thought now was the time to catch them with jigs around the docks.

fished buffalo, big birds and rocky creek today no crappie just one bass and two perch

sccrappie yesterday I caught'em on purple and pumkinseed/chartuese and 2 on pink slider like deal bought at the store by the boat ramp

fishn' problem I heard peps talking about shooting docks and doing well but not on Murray the water is too low to find many good docks

I dont know if the real problem is too much water or if the front coming in or the moon getting brighter is the real problem.I do know the bite was on from last week end until around friday when the bite just stopped and everone I talked to was catching buterbeans(small 2 finger crappie).I know everone I talked to was using pink but I tried different colors still no help.We thought the fish might had gone further up the river but we checked nothing so possibly they went back to main run--boy I love to try to figure these crappie out--lol.

Slowpole, glad to hear you got on them! I fished both Sat and Sun. from 7am-3pm. I am preparing for a tournament this coming Sat. Caught so good fish but I can't share too much info. I had several 2 lbs and (1) 2.4 lbs. I hope I can catch them when it counts. I will let you know more info after this weekend.

wow cg those sum slabsters

hey I understand not wanting to post your spots to the world with the tourney coming up but can you tell me are you pulling creeks or fish'n brushpiles?

good luck in the tourney!
