Fishing Report 3 May, High Point Area

[Fireflies]

Staw Hat is right. The crappie are not on the banks anymore. They have moved back to deeper water.

We fished in around 30 ft of water and the crappie were about 15-20 ft deep. They seamed to like minnows "anyway you have them". Seamed to do best on white or yellow gigs with a live minnow hooked on. But by the time we left we were digging stepped on dried minnow pieces out of the boat carpet and hooking whatever we could find on the jig and it was working just fine.

It was lots of fun, even better then the “right on the bank” fishing from a few weeks ago. We both limited out for the first time this year and none of the fish had eggs left. All we caught were crappie except 1 hybrid bass.

.

We fished from 9am to 2pm, water temps were in the upper 50’s. after wasting time looking up river towards the 123 bridge we ended up fishing the bank along the east side of the L6 sign across from the High Point ramp, 30ft of water around submerged stumps.
