Fished Murray last weekend, trying to figure this stuff out. Found a few fish in 10 to 15 ft of water over brush. Don't have much knowledge crappie fishing, I've been a striper guy for years. Now I can't get enough of the crappie.

Welcome! Pay close attention to these guys and you'll be filling up the cooler pretty quick.
Thanks Thumper1 seems like there is a ton of info on here. Love to learn
Welcome to the boards.
I've only fished Murray once with sinkermaker so far but it's a beautiful Lake and hope to get back down there soon.
I second what Thumper said.
Good luck and nice pic.
Oh and sometimes it will seem these guys are off their meds:yikes, but they are a great bunch to get to know
Welcome aboard, its good to have you join us here on CDC. The guys down your way will be able to help you on that lake. Spend some time reading the articles and reports all over our boards and the info will help you locate crappie. With you fishing brush and catching some you are well on you way to learning they like cover.
Look forward to reading your report,

Hey Sinker maker I would say tight lining is my preferred way to fish but, there is a definite learning curve. The few fish I did find was just out from Rocky Creek off the main river channel. There is something very addictive about these fish.

They are addictive because they taste so good. I have just started to fish Murray and when you find bait you will find the fish. Back of buffalo creek is a good place to try. I mainly fish up the little river all the way up to little river landing but I haven't heard and reports from up there yet.
Welcome to the forum. Murray is my home lake and also the hardest for me to fish, but that is my problem not the lake's. Several of the guys do real well here and you will pick up lots of tips from them. The lake activity is picking up now that cooler weather is here, so you should start seeing more posts on Murray as well as others.
Roger on the "taste so good" I have fished some up the little Saluda past little river landing last year. Not sure how the lake being down will affect things now.
Thanks SeaRay seems like there's a ton of knowledge on this site, only wish I had found it before now
Welcome to the boards. :)
Welcome to the boards, hope to see you out on wateree sometime
Welcome to the boards. Murray is my home waters as well. I'm mostly a little river guy, but I venture to other areas too. I live about 10 min from Dreher Island, but my family has a lake place up past Harmon's Bridge.
I fish most lakes in the state and I have to say Murray is one of the most difficult places because it's inconsistent. It's still one of my favorites though. There are some serious slabs in that lake and with a little time on the water it can be very productive. You look like you're well on the way to being a full time crappie fisherman! A few more thumps and you'll forget about those bass with racing stripes until they ransack your tightlining spread. LOL
