9/24 Crappie Report

[Thunderin Gobbler]

Well I told you guys I'd post a report of how we did Friday night at the lake. It was definitely better than we'd been doing. We put in at Roark Bluff at about 5:00pm and took of toward Greaser creek. I was going to take Bob's advice and fish some of the MDC beds, but wouldn't you know it, Marty Thompson beat me to them. It looked like he had some clients with him so we didn't want to intrude on them. We went on back into Greaser a little bit We had some friends already fishing in there that had 9 keepers by the time we got there. We started fishing some of the standing timber and picked up 1 keeper. About 6:30 we moved back out to where our buddy was tied up, only to find him and his wife each 1 fish from their limits. Tied up with them and caught 10 keepers in about an hour. Not too bad considering I haven't caught a darn crappie all year! Once it got dark they shut off completely and the fog rolled in. We decided to head back towards the ramp and bass fish a little bit. Caught a few small ones (all 14").
