jbtiwns30 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Was out this late morning and again I was catching a bunch of crappies around the 16 inch mark. It was kinda windy but the bite was still on. Saw some guys haul in some nice bass as well.

RSBreth Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Probably from the park lake, actually. But there are plenty of Crappie in both the James and the Finley.
jbtiwns30 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 yes from the park again.....that place is great for crappie right now!
fishinSWMO Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 16 inch crappie??? From the river??? From anywhere would be awesome fishing. Jeremy Dodson
Members justindaleporter Posted October 22, 2012 Members Posted October 22, 2012 Never been up there I have fished the James but not the Finley. Was you fishing from the bank or boat.
Chief Grey Bear Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Probably from the park lake, actually. But there are plenty of Crappie in both the James and the Finley. I routinely catch crappie in all but a few rivers around here. I just haven't caught any that big. Let alone a bunch of them. Congrats!

Jack Jones Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Methinks I need to take the canoe out on the water at the park and throw some crappie lures. I drove around it today and noticed that most of the lilly pads were gone. It might also be a good time to fly rod some poppers out there.

Flysmallie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I agree with the pirate. Biggest crappie I have caught on a river came from the Finley just below Linden. It was a little over 13" and took a gurgler off the top.
jbtiwns30 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 just off the shore, i was using a trout magnet, its a small jig head with a plastic body to it, the color was orange and red. they seemed to be hitting it as soon as it hit the water. went out again this late morning and caught only 7 of them.
