I'm interested in fishing for Crappie on Green River this spring, in paticuliar Holmes Bend area and Casey Creek, could any one tell me the best times to fish for Crappie in the Spring pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn, and places for each. I live in Eastern, KY. and have been driving to Weiss Lake for years and have always heard how good the fishing was on Green River, any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Do I know you??
Shooter ... you probably won't find too many docks to shoot at Green, but jigs & Roadrunners have served me well when I've fished there in Spring. Casting the banks or slow trolling them used to work good for me. Of course, dragging a minner around is always a method worth trying. It's all weather, water conditions/levels, and temps related ... as to when things start heating up on Green.Quote:

Welcome to Crappie.com !!
... cp :cool:
thanks for the info Crappiepappy, will be watching for the Slabfeast times and dates, hopefully will meet you there, I'm fishing out of a Grey Crestliner Canadian boat with tiller steering, a Musky decal on one side and a Walleye decal on the other side, take care my new friend and good fishing to you.
Dock Shooter if you put in at HB go to the right up the lake towards Casey ck and the river. There is alot of cover to fish up that way. I am down there most every weekend look me up I will be in a green Crappie Master. Crappiepappy I'm in on the the slabfeast.
I'm in on the Slab Fest too. I just need some advance warning so I can get off of work that weekend.
thanks t.slabseeker really appreciate the info. I am most definitely going to visit this lake this spring. Where is the closest hotel to Holmes Bend Marina, Russell Springs, Columbia, Cambellsville , I've been to Holmes Bend before, but was with a friend and he was driving, should have paid more attention. I really look forward to meeting you out on the lake my new friend, will look for your boat, and I plan on attending the slabfeast, take care and good fishing.
I have stayed at the Best Western in Columbia when fishing tournaments out of Holmes in the past. (270)384-9744.
Columbia or Campbellsville is at each end of the lake.
Dock shooter,
I normally fish between site 1 and butler creek. Will be in a blue/grey skeeter with yamaha on the back.
If you see me pull up and I will help best I can.
Finally got out today for about 4 hrs. casting jigs. Had 18 keepers, most over 10 inches.
Some fish in has little as 7 fow !!
Good luck to ya
thanks colayn, will be watching for you on the water, sounds like you really had a goodtime and day fishing, take care my new fishing friend.
thanks Dutch552, I remember seeing the Best Western in Columbia, hope to see you soon on the water my friend.
t.slabseeker, which location would be the best and closest to Holmes Bend Marina. My buddy owned a farm in Casey county close to Liberty, and when leaving his farm the road came to a T-bone, either turn left to go towards Green River and Holmes Bend, or turn right and go toward Cumberland Lake and Russell Springs, I guess my question is how far is it from Russell Springs to Holmes Bend this route, really appreciate any help or ideas you may have, also do you know of any land for sale in the Green River area, just something to place a camper trailer on maybe a few acres or less , looking down the barrel at retirement, and would love to live in this area someday..........thanks again my new fishing friend.
You really need to think about planning that event right around the 31st of March Pappy. That way the wife and I can crash your party! Spring break starts up here on Fri. 3/30 and the rig will be ready to head south on Thur. afternoon! Besides, the way this crazy weather is going, the spawn will be early this spring if it hasn't started already!Quote:
