What Am I Doing Wrong On Lake Degray
Guys I've been fishing the past 3 Saturdays on Lake Degray with my dad. We've tried fishing minnows, like we've done before (Jerry B. and Darryl M. style)....tried casting jigs.....tried jigging vertically with tubes/grubs. We're not striking out, but we're only managing 6-10 fish a trip, 4-5 hours each time.
We've fished anywhere from 8-16 feet deep in 15-28 feet of water. Fishing bamboo crappie condos in the Brushy Creek, Alpine Ridge, and Shouse Ford areas. The fishing reports in the paper say to fish just above the bamboo, which I've never seen them report before. Maybe they're using the FFA & Corp coordinates? Anyway we've tried fishing some of them and some personal spots. Even talked to a guy that caught 16 crappie off of one bucket!
Any ideas on what we're doing wrong? Or maybe I'm just being greedy. :D
