Help me locate more fish!!

[cevans]

I would used your electronics as that is what I am going to do as I first hit the main Creek channel and then work the secondary channels looking for bait balls or schools of bait and try and find fish around them by long lining 1/16 oz jigs and road runners both hair and plastics some loaded with crappie nibbles kinda search and seek. I will try shallows but I haven’t been on the water for 2 Weeks and don’t know like you. I think you will find them in deep water tho, 8 to 14 ft or maybe even deeper suspended, but then again, I will check out brush piles as well as shallow. Hopefully all these fronts and rain won’t have them lock jawed. If you find them long lining jigs, mark the spot and go to vertical jigging as I don’t think the bite will be aggressive. I also think I will be fishing pure muddy water as I have had 3” of rain so far last few days and predicted heavy rain tomorrow again. Just don’t know till I find some. Good luck.

if you get into muddy water in the back arms and that water could have come off farm fields, the local farmers down around me were dumping their hog manure on fields as their holding lagoons were full of soup from the rain. I have found sometimes no fish or anything on my electronics or caught any fish like that sometimes as I think it washes into the creeks when it rains, changes the ph and lack of oxygen in the water and the fish move. Also these farmers were dumping and spreading turkey manure and it’s washing off. It will have an effect on inflowing creeks and water especially if it comes off the fields.
