Tried Goose pond at daylight 1 crappie on a minnow also tried jigs no luck.Took a look at 79 bridge water up high and muddy 2 guys were wadding under 79 they had a crappie each.Then I got a wild hair took a drive to try the Stevenson backwater.When I drove up to see 10 cars ,it's now 8; 30 a.m Took a look see 3 -five gallons buckets of slabs.I tried the other side of the causeway and managed 15 nice crappie,10 nice white hybrid stripes 1 to 2 pound range.The catfish were active also caught 7 cats 2 to 6lb range.Anything chartreuse was the ticket also pink worked great.3 to 8 feet deep was the bite range.Not much current just enough to be good and the water was cloudy and high.

Good report, glad you caught some in this high water.

Sounds like with high, warm water the Crappie think it's time to spawn. Great report and thanks for sharing. I'm glad someone is catching them.

Good job there Al

Good job. Went hunting and didn't see a deer. Shoulda went fishing.

Awesome report. I was wondering who was gonna get back to business as usual and where . My guess was Ditch and a parking lot at either a walmart or a kroger. Yall be slow out there till the trash clears and we get our our landmarks back.

I was surprised to see so many boats out. Goose pond had is many is 20 trucks in the parking lot when I was leaving. Ditch the area I was fishing is one of my favorite night spots ,have caught daylight crappie there but night works great. Would be great place for a YAK real shallow.

Good to hear someone found them. Congrats on getting out of the box and filling a bucket!

Good job, were the cats "Mud Cats" :-))))

Channel cats and some flatheads. Went back today caught lot's of cats, 5 crappie they were biting early. Two fisherman had limits but they were there before daylight.Lot's of bait fish and a ton of skipjack and stripe.

I spent an hour and a half at Riverwalk Marina in Decatur this morning, didn't even get a gill to bite.

I gave up and went home. Water is still very high and fast, walkways out to the floating docks at the boat ramp were still under water.

Stopped by crow creek about 8 30 this morning no one their fish done moved on or maybe drowned (lol) water was just below the light pole at end of parking lot barley could cast out past the dock.did catch 1 stripe though.

By looking at the remains that was dumped by the boat ramp their this morning I know it sounds crazy but the eggs was real brite yellow and full of red streaks?
