How deep are crappie and white perch?
How deep are crappie and white perch?
There's a couple places around Wylie at the parks and you may can still fish around some of the boat ramps but stay away from the ramps themselves as that's illegal.
If you find anything let me know cause I'm bank locked for now too.
I have not fished in a few years and am now ready to get back into it. But just found out motor on the boat is DOA. Talk to people if you know anyone on the lake. Some times they will open their pier up to you and a buddy.
Good luck and I'll fish with ya If we can find a good place to go that we won't get shot at...
Crappie fishing depends on the weather | BarrenRiverblog
Crappie fishing in November and December is as easy as watching the weather. November and December are months with varying weather conditions. Watch the weather and pick and choose the best days to search for crappie.
The best days are the ones where the weather has been above 60 degrees for three or four straight days. The consistent weather conditions will have allowed the fish positioned on the edge of the channels to slowly start moving toward the cover in the shallower areas.
Look for treetops, stumps, and brush piles on the flats close to the old river and creek channels. Crappie will position on the cover closest to the channels and will position on the shallow cover adjacent to deep water.
The longer the temperatures remain warm, the further the fish will move from the river and creek channels. The best areas to look for are areas with cover adjacent to a huge flat.
Because crappie will tend to suspend more during this time of year, the best technique to use is simply a floater rigged with a small crappie jig or minnow. Once you have located an area and cover to fish, start by setting the floater at a certain depth and fish around the cover.
I start with several rods with floaters rigged at different depths until I identify the depth range the majority of the crappie are holding. Once the depth range has been identified, concentrate on that range to maximize your time and increase your chances of catching more crappie.
Jig color seems to be more important in the spring than any other time of the year. Experiment with different color jigs until your determine which color produces the most bites.
By watching the weather and following a few simple rules concerning the migration routes used by the fish, you can increase your chances of having a successful day on the water.
Check out around Copper Head area. I had a friend who walked the banks and caught quite a few crappies and brim. Hope this helps!:highfive
This passed spring was the last time I talked to him. He fished there frequently before the drought.
