Thread: Melvern

I am heading out there this weekend myself. It has been pretty slow for us. I would try the brush piles around Arrow Rock of go up in Turkey creek on the big piles up there. We have caught a lot of little ones on those piles but not many keepers.

I found a map of some piles. I have side scan will look for more. Will be smallmouth fishing and crappie i heard smallies were biting pretty good. thanks

From Arrow Rock ramp go east to the first point look for brush piles they are numerous. For small mouths I would go the damn starting on the south side. Do not over look the point north of the marina.

Good advice! I have actually caught several small mouth while fishing shallow brush piles here lately. Managed a three and a half pound smallmouth about three weeks ago on a 10 foot crappie rod. It was a whole lot of fun!

Thanks guys i will give report monday

Well it was a beutiful weekend to be fishing. Fishing was tough to find any size caught alot of smallies and crappie did have a 15 inch crappie and 5lb brum. Will return to try it again.

Nice Fish! must have been good advice!

Did you have to step on that fish to make 15 or is it the camera angle? Looks like 14 and 1/2 from the picture?
At any rate, it looks like you did better than we did on the crappie this weekend. We caught a boat load but nothing over 11 so we didn't keep any crappie at all. We did keep a few really nice white bass though. We caught a lot of small mouth bass as well.
