Anyone fishing the Mobile Delta area?

We've had some real bad weather, but before that, I just can't figure the Crappie out. I find structure but no fish. Maybe I'm not holding my mouth right!

I'm over out of Mt Vernon. Haven't done anything since before Christmas with all the water everywhere. Will probably try somewhere next week and will report

The few fish I was catching in December were holding in deep bends of a creek. Water was 20 to 24 ft deep and fish were 10 to 12 ft deep. They were holding close to structure. The fish around here will soon be in pre spawn so I expect to find them close to spawning areas. After all this flood I'll be kinda hunting and pecking. :dono

got eight bream this morning, one crappie all on earthworms. Just can't figure the crappie out, trying to use jig's.

Go with minners till you locate fish and get your confidence up. I usually fish with minners and jigs. Remember where you caught that one because there are probably more in that area. Fish similar spots.

Thanks guy's I'll get it figured out. I started out using minners, not much luck there ether. Just got to find them!

When using jigs I always tip them with a crappie nibble. I use yellow or chartreuse and usually take them out of the jar and let them dry out some before I use them to help stay on the hook better. What area of delta are you fishing from? A little insight on where you are and maybe we can give you more direction. I'm not a pro but do well at times.

Most of the time I put in at Steele Creek "Satsuma" Fish in Bayou Sara. Normally I go to Little Catfish. Just under 2 miles from the launch, fish all the structure I can find. Also use Crappie Nibble.

Made a trip there last week. Fished a couple of the deep bends out of the Saraland public launch. Only caught 1 then I ran out to the mouth of little catfish but the water was running out pretty hard. Fished the deep water right outside the mouth of LC for a few minutes but didn't have any confidence so I packed it up. Went to Cedar Creek this morning and found fish in the deeper water but couldn't get them to bite. Barometer was high, 30.31 :dono

I cant figure them out there either. I have caught some good ones in Bayou Sara several years ago but I suppose it was luck. I prefer bayou zeast, shephards, david, or three rivers on that side of the delta. I caught 42 in 2 hours trolling jigs in a creek bend around 15 ft deep the weekend before the rain set in. Fish were suspended around 8 ft deep and the funny thing was they were not marking on my sonar but they were there. Hopefully in the next two weeks they will start biting again if we don't get any major rain. I was long lining around 1-1.2 mph.
