Attempt At Crappie Fishing, Friday 18 Mar, High Point, Turkey Creek

[Fireflies]

Put in at High Point around 9am, attempting to find a spot to crappie fish. Contrary to the weather forecast the wind had already shifted to the North East and felt to be blowing over 20 mph. I was glad I brought my stocking cap. I traveled up Turkey Creek in an effort to get out of the wind, but could not find any significant numbers of fish. The fish I did find were in the main parts of the lake, holding in 30 plus feet of water, but the wind was to strong and my anchor was to small, so I gave up.

My Dad always said that your worst day fishing still beats your best day at work.

In my opinion the crappie have not moved in to the shallows yet. . The 2 that I did catch before the wind blow me off the lake were in water that was 35 ft deep and they were biting around 20 ft deep. Water temp was 48.

If you’re looking for crappie this weekend I think I would stick to the bigger and deeper parts of the lake, but if I go back I’m heading up stream to the steel bridge in search of white bass.
