I may be mistaken but I think that's the first black nosed, white crappie I've seen posted. I thought black nosed was a black crappie genetic thing??

I have caught 2 more black nosed white crappie. Both in sugar creek. I have never caught a black crappie in sugar creek.

Biggest was 4 1/2 lb and several 2-3 lb fish. All on shakey head with 6 inch worm. All released for another day .I saw Greatplump at the mouth of the bay. Must have been a bumpy ride back across the bay to the ramp as the wind had really picked up when i left. Great day on the water

I see your exploiting my fave winter hole for bass.....I use trick worms too but black in color on a conventional texas rig...last three trips I had a hit almost every cast...been fishing there for 30 years. a Jig will catch bigger fish though not as many and when the water warms in late feb a spinnerbait in crappie colors will catch tons of 3-5 pounders...

Defiantly a fun day. I caught them on the way back up to the wood duck nesting box. They seem to be around any stump. Will try a jig next time out. Have you ever fished a swim jig around the stumps ? Should be a blast with top water later in the year.

Thanks. I was referring to the one where the creek at the old iron bridge enters limestone creek.

That's a pretty black nose

Limestone has been full of Blacknose for several years now, caught or released several dozen this year. There should be some in the bay also!

I have a 14’ flat bottom with a trolling motor. Is this area accessible for me? I am in HSV and mainly go East when I fish but this place sounds great. Thx

By chance were you at Guntersville, way up in a creek yesterday? Camo boat?

Thanks for all of the info on Arrowhead. I would like to try it out sometime. Hate to hear that you had to troll for 45 min before you started fishing. I just installed a depth finder so maybe that would help me navigate. Thanks
