Okatibbee 3/2

Attachment 193318
Sure was nice out on the water for the first time this year. This trip was mostly a boat shakedown trip but i thought i would wet a line or 2 while i was there for a couple of hours.
The water temp was 48. I was trying some structure(cover) i found. They seemed to be holding tight to it.

Gonna go again tomorrow, maybe ill have better luck-
Joey

That sure is a nice black!

Nice catch Joey. I fish Archusa lake in Quitman,Ms. Good to know some people here on Crappie.com that live and fish close by. Good catch for this time of year as we have had some pretty unusual weather this year. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing the sonar one it helps to show what to look for on a sonar. I will be watching for your posts. I like to see what, when, and how crappie are biting close to my area here in Mississippi. Be safe and good luck fishing:fish

That looks like the structure I saw the fisheries and parks putting out on Saturday. I bet it was somewhere on the East side of lake between island and bridge. Nice fish!

That was actually on creek channel next to twitley branch campground-about 30 yds from the bank where the creek comes real close to the bank

Im glad to hear that they are putting out some structure-i just hope they place some in some deeper water.....

Best I can tell they are putting it in 9-13 ft of water

Nice catch, Joey. I always like to see somebody catching fish even if I'm not! Joey, what model is that H'bird you're running? I like that unit!

gubers all of you there aint no fish in that lake

Nice catch!Sure beats working!!!

Nice catch.

Those are some nice ones. Steve and I fished this morning for the first time in 2 months. It sure was nice.

The structure on the left side of your sonar pic looks like a couple of those porcupine fish attractors

I know Archusa, question... I was driving down hwy 45 near Quitman the other day and saw a bald eagle. Did not know there were any at the water park. Have you seen it?

feeshrman; Yes it was a bald eagle. My wife and I have been watching 4 of them off and on at Archusa while fishing the past few years. Last year they had a big nest in a big pine on the north side of the lake. We have watched them swoop down and take fish. They are quite beautiful soaring over the lake.
