Sam Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 All the reports I've seen have been from the Cape Fair/James River area or the Long/Cricket area. I imagine conditions are the same, though, all over the lake. I've been doing best around flooded timber in or near spawning coves. Smaller crappies are in 10 feet or so of water, I've found fewer and bigger ones suspended near trees in 20 to 40 foot water. Most folks are casting or slow-trolling crappie jigs, often swimming minnow types. The best color seems to change around - I've had good success on chartreuse, white, and orange at various times. The fish aren't real bunched up yet, so you need to keep moving. I haven't tried live minnows, but they'll always catch crappie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
