Has anybody been out fishing the gentle giant lately? I haven't seen much action on this thread.

Good report and I'm happy to be mistaken about the crappie biting in shallow water. Makes me want to declare a jihad against em! Thanks for the report and pic coyote.:D

Sorry to say that I haven't. Between doing honey-do's around the house and getting ready for hunting season, I've neglected my Crappie fishing. I hope to rectify that soon! This time of year is rough on me. I'm constantly trying to make the decision; should I go hunting or fishing...hunting or fishing...hunting or fishing...arrrrgh!
I bet if you give Eufaula Boy or Todd H. a call they can turn you on to the fish!
Fished Sat and it was good around crowder/blocker 20fow caught 20 med size from 11-2 using minnows and jigs
Anybody know what surface temps are running now?
Just got back from Eufaula after 2 days of fishing and cleaned 64 nice size crappie largest just about 1 1/2 lbs. , they were all caught between 10 am and 3 pm in 12 foot of water near the bottom using mostly minnows and chart. beavertails under my boat dock long town area , dont know if the bite is on in the timber because I dropped a cylinder on my ranger the last time down but my guess is that they are there.
I fished the banks of our cove this morning with no luck on the east side, except sandbass. I watched several feeding fish along the shoreline on the opposite side with lots of shad schools. Going back in the morning to try in deeper water and some of my brush structures in search of crappie.

Skunked this Sunday, not a bite nor a nibble. Fished 3 different locations with the same results, nothing. Using minnows on crappie rigs and although it was a nice day, it was not a productive day with fishing. Couple of guys pulled up into the cove where I was and they anchored out, fished for around an hour, then pulled up and went home. They said they could see them on the fishfinder, but no bites.![]()

I cant find any fish in our cove deep, all shallow and all sanbass....LOL! But fun to catch, tons of shad bumping my line.
