I went to Logan Martin yesterday afternoon, fished from one til dark. The wind was ferocious for a while in the afternoon, died down by around 6. I landed four keepers, biggest was 12.5 in. Lost a couple more at the boat. I caught the fish between 16 and 18 feet down. I only caught fish between about 2 and 530 or so, before the sun really started to go down. I had the same thing happen when I was out there last week, it seemed like the bite shut down about 530 or so. Are the fish moving shallower later in the day, or what?
I didn't see very many fish on my depthfinder in the areas I'd been fishing after about 530. There were a lot of fish and bait around 7-9 feet down, but i couldn't get them to bite.I don't know that they were crappie. I did manage to pick up one short fish about 8 feet down right as I was leaving in an area that was a little shallower, but no more. I caught the two biggest fish off of the same brush pile, but without a gps unit I'm having a really hard time staying on spots in my kayak. I'm still learnin, and enjoying it.
