Skunked for the first time in a long time, not even a bite. Looked shallow, looked deep, no dice.
All my old reliable brushpiles / laydowns were completely barren of fish, to the point that I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with my fishfinder. If anybody has any hints on where they went, I would love to hear it.
I think the fish population has been depleted by eagles, peregrine falcons, and really fast bass boats. I remember reading that report somewhere [emoji854]
That is weird for sure though!

I was wondering if the crappie fishing went way down hill at mill creek this spring. I’ve had really good luck their the last 3-4 years. I couldn’t get them to hardly bite from March thru may. Best day with 2 of us was 14 keepers. Also the quality seemed down. Was wondering if others noticed this or if it was just me? I love the lake a lot but it sure took a toll on my pride & pocketbook. Ramp fees are outrageous & im willing to pay, but not if the fishing continues the way it did for me. Maybe I just need to become better at crappie fishing. [emoji57]Quote:

Crappie on Mill Creek have been really hot and cold this year. I've been blaming the weather this spring, spawn was at least 3 weeks later than usual.
The week before that April snow I had one of my best days ever there. My pb is 15 inches, and that day I got two 15 inchers and four 14s in about an hour and a half.
Maybe I just hit all the cold days. I was there about 7 times. That was a heck of day you had with all those big ones. Congrats on a day like that! My pb came from there 4 yrs ago. 16.5 inches & fat as could be. It’s on the wall now. I didn’t weigh it & I wish I would of.

Take the thirty dollar ramp fee and put it in your gas tank and just go to shelbeyville

I go to shelbyville just as much as mill creek. I like changing it up and not going to the same lake every time out. It’s kinda like I don’t hunt the same tree stand every time I go out. Multiple stand locations on private & public

Remember all bodies of water cycle up and down. A couple of poor spawns in a row really hurts the catch rate. Might talk to the local biologist. Somebody has that lake.
I catch em at mill creek I just go by what I’ve been getting out truth be told if your from the area Paris is putting out better fish in my opinion

I don’t know anything about Paris lake or anyone who’s fished it but I would try it sometime. I’m about 1 hour north of that area
