It's 23 degrees here at LOZ this morning. Hope you all are at a heated crappie dock Phil. Good luck and be safe out on the lake.

Laker67 or anybody else

Does anybody know of a heated crappie dock at LOZ that a guy could fish for the day? I don't want to stay at a resort, I just want a heated dock to fish from for a day. I'd pay of course.

Thanks, SIO3

Knotty Pine resort on EE outside of Greenview, and Robin's resort in OB (knotty pine being a better choice, IMO) used to allow fishing for a fee without staying overnite. you'll have to google their number and call to check though. Knotty Pine is loaded with brush and positioned on good structure. Take along some blue/silver 2" Kalin' grubs and 1/16 weedless heads.....and/or minnows if you roll like that

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I've been at Taney for the day.

The info that wrench gave you is right on. I fish a private dock straight across the lake from Knotty Pine. It's been good the past 2 weeks. My buddy and I caught 53 total for the weekend. We had almost as many for the previous weekend. We kept 20 for a fish fry and turned the rest loose. We are getting them 6 to 10 foot suspended on the swing. Good luck SIO3.

We had a marvelous day of fishing. No heated docks. It was 34 and breezy when we put in at 10 am. Put in at Coffman Beach Access. Started with the docks there at the ramp as instructed and found 4 keepers on the second to the last dock in that row. Caught on a purple swimming minnow, 1/16th oz jig head. We saw a couple of guys on a private dock catching fish working the stalls.

Boated to another row of docks this time in deeper water. Nothing. Boated to some big docks that were extended out in the lake further and saw the same guys on one of three sets of docks so we picked one of the other docks and got out. We did good. Bill started throwing a 1/16th white marabou jig and floating/jigging it down and that worked the best by far. We'd catch crappie in 5 to 25 feet of water but I'd say the best depth was 8-12 feet. We didn't find crappie in every dock. They seemed to like 25-40 feet of water under the docks.

We ended up with 20 nice keepers up to 15 inches. Threw back some 10-11 inches in the beginning because we didn't have a measuring stick. We caught between 100-120 crappies in 6 hours. My first time on LOZ.

Sorry- video deleted.

Sounds like a great day of fishing.
