Well I went out this morning and didn't catch a single crappie or bream. Found a few bream beds but they had already come and gone, maybe this next full moon will bring em back. As you'd said, docks, 20' water and man made brush...I stayed hung up all morning in the stuff yet no crappie??? Your right about the sea wall, kinda takes away from the natural water to shore that fish like best. I talked to some guys at the ramp and they mentioned Ouachita also. I said well living on the South end of HS it's a pretty good drive up there but I may have to give it a try. Also the bouys entering coves are mostly in the right depth and lots of times people sink brush around them cause they offer a place to tie off in the wind and waves. I found brush there as well but no fish. I'm really getting tired of wasting boat gas on water that's yet to prove worthy so to speak when I know where to find some fish, it's just not very close, long drive. Kinda sucks though cause I was hoping to find some fish over here as big as these lakes are you'd think???Quote:

Don't know if that's so but it makes sense and an older crappie fisherman told me that so I took it a little more to heart. Years of experience has told him that no doubt. I plan on doing some bream and bass fishing this next moon. I know Hamelton has good numbers of bream by looking at the beds out there, just a matter of hitting them at the right time. As for the crappie, not seen evidence of them yet. I was told that could've been old crappie beds also. I've heard crappie and bream spawn in the same area's, not sure if there's truth to that either but I have found a few places that have those 2 in common so maybe so.Quote:

Pressure.
i've bass fished at night a lot. years and years and the best was the 3 days before a full moon through the full moon and through 3 days after the full moon. and i caught a lot of bass. a lot. much more than during the dark of the moon and yes, i fished both. about bream during the full moon? i think the water temp has more to do with when they spawn than the full moon. same with bass and crappie. but night fishing for bass? i'll take the times above every month of the year. on dock owner on norfork lake said, "you should be banned from the lake." and he asked me to take him out one night and i did and when we returned to the dock some other men were returning and asked how we did and jerry said, "i just got through watching a live tv show." at that time he owned jordon boat dock on norfork and taught diving.
