    Good report Gene. Its been many years since I fished in Gaston. Our favorite place was Lizard Creek. I guess because I hooked a monster in there once but lost it at the boat.

    Glad you got out and caught fish. Most of my fish also have been in the 9" to 11" range. Seem to catch a few 13 to 14" to keep it interesting. I plan on fishing some maybe Monday and Tuesday.

    Good you and the wife got some line action before the warrior wave action took over. I agree "cooler days mean less waves". lol

    Thanks for the information. Never fished either lake but got to visit them when we had to leave the coast while on vacation do to Florence. Big water for a Pa boy!Perhaps I can learn a little more and make a trip there for some slabs. We eat lunch at the Laplighter and enjoyed our day.

    I went out Monday on Gaston and caught a 14" slab. I noticed that on one of my spots the crappie had left the structure and were suspended over the creek channel. Water temps are down 8 degrees over a week and a front came through with NE winds. I realize I have a lot to learn about why crappie do what they do.
