I skipped about 25 different docks from Jimmie's and Peahill creeks and another cove that had docks in about 10 feet of water on average. I caught 0 Crappie and threw 4 different colors trying to get a strike. I ended up with a couple Bass, a few bream and 3 nice size Raccoon perch. I think the Crappie either died or they moved to a different lake. At least the boat traffic wasn't to bad, the water was flat and skipping a jig was easy.
Tried lake gaston last month, i must say not alot of marks on the fish finder, i will never go back.
I fish the same area you just mention wed morning before it got too hot for me,i had 28 crappies mostly all over 12 inches with a 14 1/2 and a 15 inch,they were still bitting when i left,could see them on df good and could tell they were big,took some pic on phone but do not know how to put on here,gaston you don't catch as many as other lakes but will adverage bigger ,with the medicine i take it makes my blood pressure drop in the heat,been going to dr to see what can be done about it so i can fish a little longer
Hope you get your medication worked out so it makes you feel better and fishing longer into the day. I know the struggle, I have high blood pressure and arthritis. I also had a knee replacement in January. I'm 53 and the struggle is real. The crappie seem to be on the opposite page from me most of the time but I keep trying. I heard Tar River Reservoir had a good crappie population and have been thinking about driving down there.
mustfish,have not been to rocky mount reservoir in pass 5 years but it use to be good
