Got me some herring and shiners and slid the boat in about noon after the fog cleared. Pulled four herring and two perch rigs for three hours. I went to all the places that brettw told me to go and all I brought home was a big old SKUNK! The 5 mph wind the weatherman called for was about to start the little waves white capping, so I pulled them in about 3:15 and loaded up. The water is in good shape and is 54 degrees. Just no fish in the water.:banghead
Well, that's a surprise. I figured something would be biting. I chased the little white ball around the course today, sure was nice to be outside.
You need to take me fishing Ray. This big old lake has me bumfoozled!
Why you think I been going to Wylie and Secession, etc. I can catch perch and shellcrackers, but crappie...not so much. But, fear not, Inkdabber has promised to make a believer out of me on crappie in Murray.
Thumper were you fishing the lower lake if so you need to go up the lake past buffalo creek and rocky creek. Most stripers are up lake. Buffalo, Rocky creek are good for stripers and crappie at certain times. Up the rivers is best right now for crappie and will only get better as it get warmer.
I was fishing beside Shull Island. I see on the map where you are talking about. I have never been up as far as Buffalo Creek. I just moved down here in May. Maybe the next pretty day I can load up and come up there. Thanks for the info.Quote:

Hey Don, Buffolo Creek is the name of the creek I was mentioning to you and couldnt think of the name of it.:ThumbsUpQuote:

I went Saturday and caught a mess of crappie... I didnt go up the river cause a reliable source told me the striper are so bad right now you cant pull a jig :yikes
I can tell you one thing there where 10-15 boats pulling or pushing everywhere I went....
That's how to find where the crappie are just watch were people are fishing and put it in your memory bank. Then when you are out fishing just head to the spot where other people are fishing.
Hate you had a off day but you will be learning about the lake each time out. You may be able to tell Brett where to go fish :)
Thumper sorry you got skunked but maybe next time you will find them. Thanks for the report.
MC what was the size of the fish that you were catching? Thanks
Stay after em Thumper. Hopefully they will come a little easier as the water warms. Move up the lake a little higher, maybe ramp 3 and give em another try. Thanks for the report.
