Kool Thx 4 The Info / I Think I'm Going To Try Ohop Again This Evening.
Yeah, it's the not easiest lake to figure out but there are some big crappie in there. Big cats too. I've always done best in the early morning. By the time the sun hits the water....the bite is over. There's a canal type area to the right of the boat launch. That's where you wanna fish. The pads just outside that canal are good too.

i guess we will just have to suffer together koke....
fishing isn't a sport, it's a way of life.
a motto i live by :D
go dawgs!!
I fished Fivemile last weekend and only caught 2 crappie. Caught a couple of decent LMB and a bunch of bluegill. There were a lot of fish holding around 24-27' in 30+ feet of water. Most of the trout were in the upper few feet of water so the fish I saw must have been crappie or perch??? It is worth a try when the water warms up a little bit.
Went To Ohop And Saw 1 Trout Caught After Gentleman Was There Previously For 3 Hours, The Fish Were Not Even Breaking The Surface. But I Did See Little Bluegills On Their Nests So Hopefully That Is A Good Sign. The Play Of The Day Was A Bald Eagle Hit A 2 Lbs. Bass About 15 Yards From Me And Damn If It Did Not Look Like A Boeing Jet.- Hey Slab ? I Got A Question For You About The Spawn And It Is After The Spawn Do You Think The Crappie Travel Far From Their Nests Post-spawn ?or Do Think You That They Spawn In The Same Spot Every Year? Holla At Your Boy
They tend to spawn in the same areas year after year. If you find a good hole they'll be there every year. After the spawn they'll hang around the spawning areas for a few weeks then head back toward deeper water. Not out into the middle of the lake but they'll get away from the shore. On Ohop you can still catch them on the outside edge of the pads and under the docks on the south side of the lake all summer. The around late Sept they'll school up right outside the creek in the evenings.Originally Posted by CRAPPIE BADBOY
