If anyone has any info that they would like to share it would be greatly appreciated. We will be staying at Holmes Bend.

Sounds like you need to give us some info lol. Nice catch.

I don't guess you would give any info on how deep the water where you were fishing, and if the fish were suspending or holding to cover.

Any help would be appreciated.

Great catch.

They were on cover in 20' of water. We fished 8 to 10' deep. I expect that with the cooler weather all that is going to change before we get to go back. We usually catch some this time of year on the flats.

sounds like alot of fish...cool deal..im headed down to fish the lake for the first time this weekend...10/13/12...any suggestions? im staying at emerald isle and would prefer to fish closer to that area if possible...water depth, cover? ect.. would be helpful..thanks

I'm headed to Green on the 12th. Will be putting in at Holmes Bend, so I am sure I will have driven all the fish to your side of the lake by the time you get there bossman.
I just started crappie fishing this year and haven't had a good day yet. Crappiepappy sounds like you have been on Green a few times any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ive been after crappie for nearly 30 years i guess and sometimes they are elusive...this will be my first attempt at some slabs on green river lake...I normally fish weiss lake where i have a camper set-up for year round rough living and we have fished cumberland some...ive heard some good things about gree and hope i can find a couple honey holes...good luck to you...

Yeah, I've been there a time or two ... but, for the most part it was many years ago & only in the Spring. I'm still a bit new to Fall fishing there, so I just follow the advice of those that frequent the lake often.
I already know that someone can tell you the exact spot where they slayed the fish, and when I get there ... they're nowhere to be found That's why I keep tabs on what the boys have to say, right here, and just sum up all I read ... then go & give'em a try.
It also doesn't hurt to hook up with, or just meet up with other members ... share info, learn new tips & tricks, & make new friends. I don't get to go often, so it's a good thing that I just like to fish, be out on the water & out of the house and away from work
