I've never been to Kerr and meeting some friends there camping to take some kids longlining. Anyone doing any good. They are staying near Henderson point area so I will put in there. Don't care about keeping any fish but would like them to catch some. I've heard the water is pretty clear in that area. Thanks as always. You can pm me.

ISLAND CREEK IS NOT FAR FROM WHERE HE IS STAYING AND JUST A LITTLE WAYS ACROSS THE LAKE IS GRASSY BY WATER.
I've never fished island creek I've fished grassy and buffalo

island creek is not a big creek compared to grassy or rudds but it do not get as much attention as they do and much shorter to mouth of island and grassy than it is to go by way of grassy to fish mouth of both creeks
I caught both of my biggest 2 crappie ever long lining at Kerr, (2lb 9oz) but that was in late March and early April. Bobby Garland Baby Shads tipped with minnows. Pearl and Blue Ice are good colors for clear water.
casting brush does better than trolling this time of year, in my experience. lotsa brush in the previously mentioned creeks
