After a few years they all died out. You could see them swimming along the top. It looked like a floundering swimmer gasping for air. Later they tried tiger muskie but the also didn't make it.

It was worse today than yesterday. I am going to lay off for a while. -

Crappie colors/PLASTIC

I am making some slab knockers for my neighbor and need some color recommendations. I am not a crappie fisherman so I would really like some tips please.
-
It might be a bit early to hit Blunks unless you are looking for males. You could put in at the old Asher's Cane Bottom (Walnut Springs) and fish both ways. There should be some within a mile or so one way or the other.

I really never pay much mind to water temps when I am fishing for whites. I have noticed that the kind of fishing I do is much more related to cold fronts with pre spawners. For example, I caught many on Tuesday but couldn't go back on Wednesday. I had to go today to take my best friend who couldn't go any other day this week. To get to the point, after last night's cold front, the two of us didn't catch 20% of the fish I caught by myself on Wednesday and the water was 3° warmer.
-
Yes. Around 47°. Why do you feel it is important?
-
If you can't get a site there, I am sure there will be plenty at Eagle Rock and the drive is only a few miles.
-
Compared to your area it might be considered muddy. But for it, it is fairly clear. I don't pay much attention the water clarity. I just chunk those baits.
-
It was a little slower today. I only got 45 with no other kinds of fish at all which is not usual.
-
Is the pickerel thing in Crane Creek a recent event? I used to fish it a lot and never saw or even heard of one.
-
I don't know where else to look. I talked to a guy who lives around Cape Fair a couple of days ago. He said that it just wasn't happening this year for some reason, maybe cause they caught 2 bazillion last year and year before last in that area.
-
That is correct about the Pomme de Terre. They are stocked in the lake and migrate into the river.
-
Don't wait. The fish are on the move in the rivers. The little males will go way up the streams several weeks before the breeding fish arrive. The good females will only go to the first few shoals and spawn there.
-
I drive 45 minutes to 2 hours for any water I fish.
-
It looks like Mon for sure for me. If I score I'll post up. I'd go today but I am kind of a sissy.
-
It would take a book for a total reply so I will only respond to a few things. I like football head jigs on TR because I lose fewer of them than other styles in the rocks. Any of the baits you mentioned will be potential producers. I'd bring more bait casting equipment and less spinning if it were me. BTW: What part of the lake will you be on? Will you bring boats?
-
Well I guess it looks like no one else will be there.
-
I'm thinkin next week will be good and I am hittin it hard. Who else will be out there? What kind of boats will you be in in case I see you?
-
If I might be so bold as to ask, what part of the lake were you fishing cause it is a really big pond?
-
Phil the thing about these transient fish is they move around a lot. I have seen creeks and rivers full of them and a good front with a stiff wind comes through and the disappear for as much as 10 days. I don't know if they leave of shut down. Some of the holes are 20' deep but mostly it is much shallower than that.
-
Jigs were the bait of the day for me. I didn't even try anything else cause they would hit the jigs. I'm thinkin bout tomorrow since I am still off work and the winds are not going to be too bad.
-
I don't have a clue about those bridges Phil. No I wasn't fly fishing. It was way too windy for that kind of stuff today besides the fish were fairly deep.
-
What ever that bridge by the unloading place is called. I only went a little ways upstream.
