Was headed to dam friday afternoon to try 40 ft water. Saw several boats at Smith Branch. Went and joined them. We were fishing 60 ft deep and catching crappie. No size to them. Never caught freshwater fish that deep..Caught about 20 total friday and saturday.
WOW! That is incredible. I, personally, have never seen any water over 40-42 feet deep on Caney on my electronics. I will have to come and look some more. Not sure where Smith Branch is. Glad you caught a few.
Pastor, Smith is the cut to the right just above the dam. There are 3 55-72ft holes there at the mouth where they dug the dirt for the levie. One is on the left just off the point and the other two are on the right with one right even with the first little cut with all the camps in it. The other is just a little further in at the next small point.Quote:

wow...thats deep......
Not sure I'd want to reel up that many fish from 60 feet unless I had a good cranking ratio on the reel. :) Sounds like fun times though!
I wonder if throw backs can survive that.
don't think so.....Quote:

Here at lake Monticello the fish are deep (50+ ft) in the winter and every year after Dec 1st the minimum length limit does not apply and you are required to keep everything caught and it applies to the limit (even if it is 4 inches long!) because they will likely be dead anyway when released.
Man what a waste, I don't keep unless 10" but don't fish deep
