duckydoty Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Fished a couple of hours after work yesterday looking for crappie again. Started off way back in Peach Orchard and picked up 5 or 6 crappie on pole timber in 8-11 feet of water with 3 of them being keepers. Went up the James river arm and checked a few more brush piles in some small coves with a swing and a miss. Went all the way back up Flat Creek above the bride and fished lay downs along the first bluff up there and must have caught 35-40 crappie and a few whites up there with most of them being shorts. Did manage to bring home a dozen keepers though. All the fish were caught on 1/16th oz jig heads and Bobby Garland bodies. Color just did not matter. I had 5 rods rigged up with different colors and as soon as I would loose a jig in the brush, I would just pick up another rod and keep catching on a different color. Gonna tray the Long Bend and Wooley Creek area today. Wanna try and stay out of the way of the snaggers. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

Josh Holt Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I was out yesterday also up the james caught a limit of white bass then went and pulled a limit of crappie off a flat with a firecracker swimming minnow
MeatintheFreezer Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Ducky, my hat's off to you sir. You give some of the most detailed fishing reports I have even seen for crappie. You are truly a gentleman and a great asset to those of us who cannot fish every day. I went out today looking for whites up the James, but couldn't get past the snaggers. So I figured I might as well join them. It was was such a circus I couldn't resist. Ended up catching a couple decent females and a small male. I was surprised at the water temp. I was showing 54 by early afternoon.....but it could have from all the warm water discharge from all the boats! Remember - If at first you DO succeed, try not to act surprised & quit while you're ahead.
duckydoty Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Good looking spoony! I was in Flat Creek for a while today. Got a little crowded so I headed down to the point 14 area. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
