    Default Lake Hamilton crappie?


    Hi all. I was wanting to know if anyone knows about the crappie fishing on Lake Hamilton. Are there any fish? Seems like it should be a good lake. I just don't know how to get started on that style impound. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    There are crappie in it . I mostly fish ouachita but Hamilton is basically the same you have to find the brush piles at the proper depth depending upon water temp and time of year

    Fish the Boat Docks and brush piles under them.

    Go with a small live bait and small line. I've never caught a fish out of a deep clear lake like Hamilton, but I don't mind giving advice on how to do it. If this works, let me know and I'll try it... if I ever fish a deep clear lake again, which I don't ever plan on doing.

    I don't fish deep clear lakes either. That's the reason i asked. Muddy, rising and falling water mixed with large flats and ditch creeks is what I normally deal with.

    My kind of water right there. There are some folks on here that can get it done in clear water.

    I know there's brush piles in Hamilton but you have to search for them with your disi. I fished the lake in 2014 and caught some big crappie but had to search, and when you find them look out.
