Thread: Ef?

I haven't been on the lake in a few weeks but the water coming out of the dam still has pretty good color to it so I would assume it's still at least little murky. We haven't had much in the way of rain so it has to be clearing. It's not flooded any more.

I went last Saturday and the water was a bit high but not too bad. The ramps were a mess. The water was very muddy. However, I'll bet its in good shape by now. I'm spending 2 days there next Wed-Thurs. Can't wait.

went today and the water was still stained. kept about a dozen good sized ones, a few having eggs. still didn't seem to have a great pattern. most were caught shallow under bobbers, a few caught spider rigging about 10 to 12 foot deep. also caught some dinks as well and always a couple small bass and a few 2 to 3lb catfish.

Fished sat. First time on the lake this yr. caught 57 crappie. Kept 18. Did catch some good fish. Covered a ton of water casting jigs. The fish I was fishing for was holding in 8' right on the slope.

Good day. I've got a buddy going there in the morning. He's supposed to call me with his own report.

I went out with my 7 year old daughter on Friday and Sunday for 3-4 hours each day. We caught a total of 15 fish with 6 keepers fishing with minnows on a jig/bobber in 5-10 feet of water. On Sunday, my daughter caught all of the fish (partly luck but partly because I spent a lot of my time fixing lost hooks). She is already asking if we can go again next weekend!

I am fairly new to crappie fishing and East Fork so I should probably be happy with our success but I can't help but be jealous when I see reports of 60 crappie. Great job. Is the difference in success more exact location, bait, or technique? I am guessing all 3 in that order? We did spend half the first day trying locations that yielded nothing so we were pretty happy when we found a place that got us a few fish.

I would say so. Once you find them they're pretty easy to catch.

Nice fish Trackman
