I would fish the Bangor ramp area. Lots of standing timber, lots of crappie are caught out of this area of the lake. Be careful of stickups, keep motor trimmed or use tm for this area. Buck Creek and Longbow area is good too.

I have been catching crappie in the standing timber there for two or three weeks, it is fairly easy to find them with your depthfinder... Last saturday they were deeper, around 15 or 16 feet and the size could have been better but I did catch a fair number... If I'm up there the same day you are and you happen to be in my spot, I might just have to tie up to your boat so bring lots of baloney sandwiches and I kinda like hot chocolate too.
lol, will do. We will be in a red pro team 175

my dad likes to use minnows, so we will definately be using them, but i never go fishing without my trusty roadrunner tied on.
kissfan4,
How did you do on Cave Run Lake for crappie? Did you hook into any muskie?

Most of the crappie seem to be 7 to 8 inches, can usually catch enough 9 to 10 inch fish for dinner if you need them... most of the fish we caught today were hanging around some bottom cover in 9 or 10 feet of water.
Try the Blacckwater area. Fish are in shallow water. Reports are some good 10-13 inch fish are being caught and in fair numbers. Yellow and white tube baits seem to be what they want.
The Blackwater area in the main river is producing some good 10-13 inch fish in fair numbers. The fish seem to prefer a yellow and white tube bait.
