Had a good day out on the lake we only kept six crappie biggest was 13in. smallest kept was 10 in. threw back a bunch of shorties. Here is my neighbor withthe 13 incher.


.

nice work grubby. were yall fishing the grate? looks like you are near the dam. did u look shallow for any?

yep we hit several of the brush piles in 12ft of water or less and didn't have any luck found them at 14 to 17 foot by THE grate. but there is a bunch of brush between the grate and the first set of buoys south west of the grate looked like some one had been working real hard at making a very large area to fish when some one else is fishing the grate. With the 997 nothing is safe from discovery.

Daniel you have to remember that the first time you went to Wetumka it was a new lake. You have to break the new lakes in sometime and with all the great fishing buddies on this website you will get a lot of help. I been going there (tbird) for years and still get skunked at times. I will be trying some new lakes out this just to get into some new water for a change. Good Luck.

I can't believe how low the water is at T-bird. Are there any good spots for the spawn left? All the shallow timber I usually target is on shore!

I was out there Sat and noticed the same thing. I'm trying to stay positive...look at it this way: most of the ODWC's brush piles/rows that are normally 10-20 ft deep are now sitting in prime spawning depths!

Wow, I never thought of it that way! Guess I'll head to the brushpiles as usual..

went out today and had a pretty good day....caught around fifty anywhere from 10 feet of water to 20....most were dinks. caught all but four fish on minnows...they did not want the jigs of any color ...around 15 made 11 inches and one big ole gal with a softball in her belly only made around 12 inches....but, don't worry...my motto is free the fighter...if i want to eat fish i will go to catfish cove!..I was going to fish the grate but could not find it...where on earth is it....i went around all the buoys and never came across it....i know it should come up pretty shallow...i used to fish the slope of it in 14 feet of water and no luck finding it.....whats up with all the new buoys?......and that new dock should sure help those bank fisherman.....that was my go to spot since 1984.....oh well...guess good things can't last forever.
