Fellows Marina

[J Fry]

Anyone know if the marina at Fellows is open yet? Last time I went up there, the marina was closed. Just checking, thought about trying that lake this weekend. Any crappie being caught out there? What about McDaniels? Is it fishable? Thanks.

I was down there the 4th, and they were open then. He mentioned something to some guys feeding the ducks that it was his first day open this year because the dock got washed out into the lake and I guess they had to put all new floats under it. I only fished one day this month down there, the 12th, and found a guy who was catcing them at the earth dam, where the road crosses it, all along the bank on the East side of the highway. He was using chart/yellow sassy shad and all I had was white, which didn't do so good, probably 3/1. Get some sassy shad and 1/8 jighead and fish the sides of the highway and you'll probably catch a few. McDaniels is OK, only stopped by and didn't fish. It is a little off-colored. Was last weekend anyways. People were catching small crappie from the west end of the bridge. Everyone I saw catch any was on minnows.
