Anyone been by there yesterday or today? Anything going on?
Bet they still getting em, got to get there early to get the primo spot tho. Looks like they turned her up a little more today.
Heard they've been tearing em up. I haven't been fishing in two months tho.
Heard they are getting em tonight.
I went down Tue. night and caught 11 in 4 hours, and and my arm is still hurting from slinging the jigs. That is about all the the rest of the guys caught too. You had the make about a 1,000 cast to catch one...ha. You pull off about 10 foot of line, whip not cast the jigs out and back. They are close to the rocks, not out in the middle.
I also fell on the rocks, and am banged up pretty good, and very sore, so yall be careful. Take lots of jigs, and the way you have to whip your line out and back you can't sit, so be aware of that, it was rough on the feet and back. Be sure to take a good led headlight if your gonna fish at night. A long 12 pole would be best I think, I had a 7 foot rod, and wished I had a longer rod. [no pun intended].....:fish
I did better casting myself, and you can sit that way. Taking my engel to sit on next time.
Hope you get to feeling better, those rocks are bad news.

Shoot if would have tried to carried a cooler down those rocks to sit on I think when I fell I would have hurt myself really bad. I'm hurting bad now, and if my back is still hurting like this tomorrow, I may go to the doctor. Those crappie will really cost me...:Doh:
A 2 ft x 2ft piece of plywood is good to lay across the rocks makes a good stable seat. I have one that we covered and padded. Works great and sure feels good on the butt. Like Rees I catch mine by casting and jerking when I feel something. Also get a lot out deeper.
I heard tell that Wannabe caught one down there a few years ago. Take it for what it's worth, you know how rumors are!
