Guntersville or Weiss?

I have a spur of the moment decision to make. If you had the choice to fish either lake tomorrow and Friday 4/23 and 4/24, which one would you choose? I'm from ky and it looks like we might have to travel south to find some stable water. Reports and opinions appreciated.

Don't know as you can go wrong on either lake. Guntersville is my home lake. The fish on the Big G have not spawned yet. As a result they can be a little hard to find from m day to day. If you decide on Guntersville let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks DSJ. What kinda shape is the water in down there?

A little higher than normal as of the last time I was out.

Mud creek is the only part I'm familiar with. Should it be productive or would you recommend somewhere else?

I have been catching fish one inlet down at Town Creek / Belefonte. I did pretty well last week when I went. The numbers were there but the slabs were few and far between. Weather permitting I will be on the water in the morning and let you know what I find.

Good deal. Thanks man.

Most welcome.

water clarity on lower lake and color is great!

Are you sure they haven't spawned yet? Friend of mine who lives at Beech Creek said he caught all his crappie (under his dock) back in February, and the females were full of eggs and males full of sperm. Since then, he has not caught any crappie there - but the carp have moved up under the docks and he said that usually means it's all over for the crappie at that point. I'd sure like to think the spawn hasn't started yet, but my 3 trips to South Sauty has only netted 4 fish on one occasion and nothing on the other two. Not disputing you, I'm very confused.

They may have given us the slip. I did catch a few today with bloody tails. They were around a brush pile in 7' of water.

One of my friends caught some in shallow water back in March, upper end of Roseberry. But in my weekly trips, I have not found but one or two shallow since. Most of what I have caught was around bait in 8-10 feet.

Caught 6 last sat evenin in 4fow All full of eggs just starting to color however I caught 19 within 40 yards of their back at the end of March in 9fow very very bloody eggs

Crappiehabits, I posted a thread about today's trip. It wasn't the best day but it was a pretty good one.
