Actually, 1fishmike .... there ARE Black Crappie in GRL !! I've caught them, before. Found most of them in the backs of the creeks/bays off Robinson Creek, on the deep rocky banks.

I will second CP's statement that there is a very small population of blacks in GRL. The ones that I have personally seen have come from the bluffs across from the state park. Good for you for getting out in all this high water and connecting with some fish. I am actually glad now that they are now SLOWLY pulling water so maybe the spawn will be a success. Frustrating for the fishermen but great for the fry.
Thanks for enlightening me. I have never caught one or even heard of anyone catching a black crappie from GRL. Thanks again.
The Big Fish at last years Crappie USA was a black that weighed 1.73 pounds.
oops thought it was a small mouth for sure (i'm not much of a bass fisherman) anyway i was fishing in that real deep cove back behind blue hole rd..i put in at emerald isle marina and its just a minute or so to the spot. i caught everything off of 1/8th jigs casting to the bank and letting it sink at an angle back to the boat basically just keeping my line tight.
