OH, most of the guys on site including agrihawg all know my attempts over on Degray Lake. I know they said they catch em over there but I never did. Ones I did manage, like 2 or 3 a trip if lucky was good ones but never found many over there. I'm not sure I ever fished their sank brush but I found brush that didn't hold fish for whatever reason. Most attractors I saw on my navitronics were all too shallow...very few deep attractors for some reason. We were staying over there while my wife was in college so I hit that lake a bunch and really had a lot of wasted time. Its a beautiful lake but from what I saw very limited numbers of crappie....even the G&F weekly reports have shown that. Right before we left though I did sink some brush over there that I never got to fish. Most of what I sank was between Arlie Moore, Lenox Marcus, and just South of the Shouse Ford area. Only place I ever found any crappie was up in Arlie Moore just around from where that point runs out to the East real shallow for a long ways.Quote:

If they get rain North up around the Dequeen area it causes L.River to mud and rise, if they get rain West it puts Pine Creek and Broken Bow lakes up and causes too much current to fish down the upper end of Millwood also. Most of the good places in Millwood seem to be along the river cause the other areas are all shallow with no depth unless it's spring time and the spawns on. However like this weeks report for Millwood said there's not been much current change on the river and the crappie area improving down there as I'd guess they would. Down there the whites are the talk of the town most Winter and when you can hit them just right you can load the boat and have some fun. Take a lil more time to cut that red strip out and they are fair for the table but not quite like the ol white perch.
