West Neck Marine September

I ventured to West landing on the 11th of the month and did fairly well (for me) :juggle
The crappie were all fairly nice size with one at 13in I also kept one at 9 1/2.
To my suprize most were caught on jigs and nibblets (thanks Tap) however I ran dry on nibblets :-(
I fished in 9 - 13 FOW caught a few on minnows but Pink BGBS with a touch of nibblets was whats for dinner
a few pictures below.

Also went back on Monday the 17th, could find ANY crappie ended the day with two brim two white perch and two keeper bass

That 13"er is great for that river. Nice job. I do so well with the Money jig that I rarely play with other colors. I guess I'll have to give pink a try.

Great report! A 13 is good anywhere let alone local rivers

nice catch mike!!!!! north landing can be a tuff place to figure out. one day you catch them and the wind blows the water either in or out depending on the wind direction. those are some reall nice specks and good pictures two. tight lines JIM.B

Thats great for river crappie. Our coastal rivers are hard to figure out. With water levels changing can be very frustrating I know, I fish them.

I've not seen 13' but have seen 10' up the creek a mile or so but it always just a small area.

ive got two spots that i like to fish for crappie in west neck creek... one is 7feet and the other is 5-6 feet deep on a good day. you are right though... they are all just one hole and the rest of the creek is 2-4 feet deep. i havent gotten all that far up the creek? maybe halfway between the west neck bridge and the indian river bridge.... i think i may shoot to the indian river bridge if i get out this weekend? and i still want to find a few spots on the river also! :)
