Does anyone on here fish Graham or Gibson? My in-laws live in the Jackson area and I thought I might try them out but wanted a little feedback first. Which do ya'll prefer? What's the quality of fish? And so on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks in advance.
I have never fished either one of them but there are some folks on here that do. I do know that the Gibson co. Lake has some huge bass almost state record! I know somebody that fishes these lakes will chime in. Good luck if you go.

Never fished either one myself. This was posted back this spring. Noticed this was your first post. Welcome aboard.

i have heard there is nice crappie in both lakes. if you want some bass fishing i know gibson got nice ones in it. my 2 boys have caught several big one and they have 2, 11lbs. plus on the wall.
Do not know much about them, hope you do well. Welcome aboard.
Another thing to consider is what kind of boat you have.. Gibson County is more Bassand big boat friendly, Graham has lots of trees in it, and most are stumps just below the water line.. its real easy to get hung up on one. there are lanes in graham but they are not marked very well any more. There are big bass in both lakes, from what I hear maybe better at Gibson, . I not sure about Crappie at Gibson, heard there is some great bream and shellcracker there.. At graham. I have caught lot of crappie there but not too many slabs. But there are pics on the wall of some slabs caught there.. But with so much cover at Graham you really have to know where to find them.. When you find them you can catch a lot.. but sometimes you cant buy a bite. or at least I cant..lol.. There are some nice bream and catfish in Graham also..TWRA stock some trout in the dam end or used to.
Thanks everyone for the info. I have been on here for a long time, but I just forgot my password and have since changed my email.
Due to the high gas prices the past several years once they pull out of the bushes at West Sandy these have become my two lakes of choice. I'm the same boat with jaxxman about catching slabs at Graham- doesn't happen often, but I have brought good numbers home after a HARD day working for them. For me it's been slow there the past couple years so I've focused on Gib Co since it's 10 min from home and as I've started to learn the lake I've caught several 2 1/2lb plus out of their this year alone. My advice for crappie fishing at Gib Co is find the brush piles and ledges and when you find the fish don't stray too far. I've taken trips out and literally pulled 20-25 slabs off the same hole in less than 1 hr before. I haven't fished the cooler weather much so they may do the total opposite this time of year.
How deep are you fishing, if you don't mind shareing?
Majority of the time i stay in or around the 10-15 ft in 15-20 fow, but depending on where they are that can change in a heartbeat.
