Yes they are deep. My dad has been fishing up there some and he use to fish a lot 20 yrs ago but just started back last yr. This time last yr he didn't have a boat. We have been slow at work and he has been fishing. A few weeks ago I went up there and fished with him. He showed me what he was useing and told me he was dropping the jig to the bottom and then slowly reeling up. Nothing to it I thought. We fished that afternoon and didn't do any good. The next morning I beat him to his spot and he pulled up on top of me, which I expected. I hadn't put a fish in the boat and he pulled 3 crappie out of the water in a row right in front of me, laughing the whole time. He kept telling me that he didn't feel the fish. I have a little more expensive rod and was using braid and I thought I should be able to feel the fish better than him. He was complaining about getting hung up a lot and I told him that I could feel the brush and when my lure stopped I would let it have some slack and then ease it back up, kinda swimming or moving the lure through the brush without getting hung. He told me that wasnt brush that was fish!!! lol He told me that you keep reeling and when your jig stops just keep reeling, it will either start to pull and you set the hook or you will be hung up. I have not got to go again but I am anxious to get out there.

Some guys have givin him some jigs up there and helped him and if they are members here I sure do appreciate it. He has needed something to do this winter with the weather being so bad that we haven't been working much. He hasn't put much of a dent in the crappie population, they have to be at least 10 inches or bigger for him to clean and he has to have at least 4 of them or they all go back in the water. And he was one of the guys up middle fork saturday. lol he caught one crappie, one bass, and one bream and fished for over 6 hours.
