Have you ever fished the Chowan for crappie? I have many times but never really got into them. Usually put in at Gatesville and have tried all of the creeks in that area and main river. I have caught some nice bass down there tho.

I have a buddy back home( SE NC) that fishes the Chowan regularly. I have never fished it. I've only been in this area for one year. The Chowan is a big place. I don't know if I'd know where to start, but I am sure going to try it. We are building a house on the Perquimans River, so that is where I've been fishing and probably will 'bout everyday.
IBNFSHN you can PM me. I've got to run. Be back online in a hour or two.
used to bass fish here several yrs ago... when wind got bad went up bennets cr. crappie fishin...caught white perch, yellow perch, brim, bass, stripers,(small), on crappie jigs...used to look forward to wind gettin up..LOL
Use to be this time of the year when you went across the bridge into Herdford and looked out towards the sound, it was wall to or rather bank to bank boats fishing for yellow perch.Quote:

Last few years we have cut down on our traveling so much. We still hit Tull's creek near Moyock for crappie and this time of year North river is good for yellow perch. We go over to Kerr for a week every March and then a few more shorter trips during the year. Sure wish that lake was closer. Some of us on the Va forum have a get-together once in a while somewhere. Please consider yourself invited to any of them we have in the future.Quote:

Nope, never been to that one. Use to go to Perquimans. Pasquotank, Yeopin, Pembroke, Chowan, Hall's and a few more I can't remember the names. During the summer we go to Newbegun near Weeksville and fish for white perch. Lots of fun with ultralights and beetle spins.Quote:

Glad to have you. We have another NC fisherman (Tahoe 50) that joins us. He lives in Currituck. We use to have another (Crappie Farmer) from near Edenton but haven't heard from him lately. For some reason there are not very many crappie fishermen in NE NC but several of us living in SE VA fish down there. Something about the grass greener on the other side of the fence I guess. LOL
Yeh I PM'd Tahoe50, but ain't heard from him yet. I was suprised as I talked to people here. Hardly anyone targets "panfish". Most are striper, white perch, and saltwater fishermen. Which I do to, but panfish'n is how I was raised. It's in my blood...
I'll give up a thirty pound striper to tangle with thirty one pound "panfish" any day.
I'm 95% panfish fisherman. Prefer crappie at most times but I'll take a mess of gills off their beds also. I may fish twice a year for salt water and a couple times for bass but I always revert back to my old ways. ;)Quote:
