Fishing Lay lake, Just curious which depths to start fishing, mouths of creeks or near docks. I'm usually in 18 ft of water but with the spawn happening, curious if I should get back into the creeks more in say 10 ft of water and fish 6-8!ft down. Will say this, we went this Monday and fished banks out of boat and couldn't buy a bite. Water temp was 75.
I would say both and if you see one of those green underwater lights that means the owners want you to come fish around it. Do it or it will hurt their feelings
Well, We looked for those green lights, was none to be found. ��
Had my 11 y/o son with me and We fished over tree tops at 15 ft
with only one bite, a small squeelor. So after about an hour we
decided to move up the creek around some docks known to hold
fish, and within 10 min we had our first crappie. Then 3 more within
the next 15 min. Then they shut down for the next 30 minutes. It was
getting late so we had to get my buddy home. All we're good fish 12-13".
Not a lot of fish but still had a great time.
Just curious, if there is some unwritten rule/etiquette about fishing around docks
at night? These docks were not lit up, so we had to put out our own lights. We were
within 15-20ft. Of the end of their pier. Anyone ever done this, just don't want to upset
the owners. I'll post pictures later today, it was too late last night.
I have a dock and people fish it all the time but hardly ever at night. If I see anyone I will usually walk down and get a report or offer one. I sometimes offer a cup of coffee! Make sure they don't have any lines or baskets out for you to tangle and #1 rule for me is if you get hung on the dock - break off - don't get on my dock! I also don't like any cussing and especially "F" bombs! but I have to hear it but rare.
Most people we meet are just as welcoming as you are, then you'll have that one
nut job :rolleyes::rolleyes: Never know, how other fishermen have treated them I guess/who knows
I definitely agree, I'm not getting on anyone's pier.
