Indian Point Area In Late March

[dtrs5kprs]

Don't neglect to drag a PBJ-colored half-ounce fb jig with a green pumpkin twin-tail trailer on the gravel points in that area. It will catch all three species of bass and is tough to beat in early spring.

Profound.

If you are chasing smallies you are in the right area. Places all over the dam area and you would be hard pressed to not hook into a few. Find flats and gravel points and you will find them. As far as cover its not mandatory but it doesn't hurt. I have caught some nice smallies in just about every pocket, cut and cove from Combs Ferry all the way to the 86 Bridge. Good luck, you are coming at a usually great time (end of March to early April) when they start to put the feed bag on in the dam area/long creek. As far as the crappie I am not an expert but I have always had good luck in Brushy Creek during the time you are coming and they always relate to the wood in my experience. If you find one....you will find more right there with them. Just have to find the depth they are at and you can get into them back in the back of Brushy. Word to the wise....bring a ton of crappie jigs/jigheads/swimming minnows. If I make more than 20 casts with the same jig head and haven't lost it its a miracle.
