Thread: I'm not a fisherman

looks like on this board someone would help gin. it's not like he will catch all the crappie out of the lake. if i fished the lake i'd do my best to help him.

Gindog, go during the week if at all possible, Gold creek is really crowded on the weekends and the boat traffic really affects the fishing. I was there last Saturday and between the landing and the crappie camp there was easily 30 plus boats there early, they thinned out around noon or so, but the fish were already disrupted and never settled back down. And from what I heard for that weekend, there was a couple of limits caught early, you may try the 89 bridge area or the caney creek area on your next outing. As I don't know how or what you are fishing I can't give any suggestions on bait or tactics to try. If you go back to Gold creek try finding a tree top in the pool that does not have a boat sitting on it and fish with a minnow or a jig tipped with a minnow at around 4' to 7' deep under a cork.
