Were you near the Grants Mill bridge yesterday? I was fishing up from the bridge near a point. I caught one using a beetle spin w/ small gold willow leaf and the color was a blue/white solid body. There's going to be fish in those spots very soon.

yup....in the creek just before you cross...on the left, headed towards 119.
my uncle was tickled, he caught two keepers on his first two casts. i told him to shut-up before everybody was over there with him. minnows 3-5 ft.
I got some keepers on white jig, and minnows.
still big fish to be had before the 1st spawn run...anyday i'm thinking?
see ya

Very cool. I was on the bank with a backpack on throwing light weight tackle. We need a secret wave.

If I see someone I think may be you or vice versa, I'll just take my hat and wave it - over my head. And I'll need all the secrets on how, what where to catch them.

Well I don't know if it helps or not but we were in a boat on Wednesday and got there at 2:30 and by 6 we had 48 keepers in the boat. We probably threw back 15 but they are definitely starting to bite.

Good to hear. ANy and all Lake Purdy advice on what lures would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the process of getting a OB motor as well so I can go after them from somewhere other than the bank.

I am so sorry to revive this very old thread, but no one is posting on my thread recently about Purdy Lake. Now, if you go to their website, they have pics of people with nice crappies caught by the Solar Bees? About 2 miles out from their boat launch. I am planning on going in a few weeks and rent a boat at try to find this bridge/creek you guys are talking about. If I am leaving the boat launch headed out, which direction to I take to get to this spot? the creek just before you cross...on the left, headed towards 119?

I've never been here, but live 30 minutes from here. Anyone want to team up and fish together? We can maybe split the bill?
