Thread: anybody fish misssy today?

I went over this afternoon. I have never seen more people fishing then i did today. Lake or spillway it didn't matter they were both lined with people. I tried Frances Slocum area and got nothing. Seems like every year around this time when they start filling the lake the crappie really scatter and the bite is tough. We ended up trying below the spillway but went wayyyy downstream. We caught a good number but had to weed through a lot of small ones. The guys fishing next to us however were doing very well. Close to a 3 man limit and they were all really nice fish. They had the honeyhole and they were still there when we packed it up for the night.

Today was Indiana's first Free Fishing Day of the year, so that could have made a big difference in the number of people out also.

Yeah i just saw that. Must have been what it was. When i left and went back over the dam tonight there was still a bunch of people on both sides of the first cove on the east side of the lake. I said to my buddy that maybe we were fishing the wrong spot today because i don't normally see people stacked like that on the lake side lol.
