Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 13, 2008 Root Admin Posted March 13, 2008 Babler and myself got over to Long Creek for most of the afternoon yesterday. Put in at Yocum and fished several flats for crappie and/or whites. Sorry no temp gage but the water was perfect color and with the wind and 77 degrees the water must have warmed into the low 50's, at least on the surface. We set the boat in 15-20 feet and fished toward the bank, working out 1/4 oz jigs with swimming minnows right on the bottom. We caught 2 keepers and 3 short with a few small bass mixed in. No real patterns except they were in 15 feet of water on the bottom. Purple was the best color. We fished all my best places- mouth of Yocum, just inside the bridge, up in Long one bend and then the second by the small rock bluff on the left. Fished the big point just down from Yocum and traveled down to Cricket and fished the flat on the right. The water was colored up more heading down Long towards Cricket and the marina. Lots of debry floating. We both thing it won't be long before everything busts loose. A guy pulling out when we went in- we think he had his limit of nice crappie but we didn't ask him where he caught them. An older gent told us what he caught when we pulled out so they're there if you can find them. One of my keepers was 14+.
