Anyone know if High Rock is muddy?

I just left there. Main lake is muddy and still has debris here and there. Way better than last weekend though. Some of the main creeks are getting better but I had to search for the better looking areas. Fish are biting if you can find cleaner water. I used single pole today and caught 30ish with a few really good ones. All but 1 came from 2 to 5ft of water. Water temp 59/60Quote:

Just the right color in most areas. Fish are shallow.

If you are closer to HighRock I'd say give it a whirl. I talked to several guys today and all said they were catching fish. I found fish early this am but decided to run up to Crane Creek and didn't do near as good up that way. Rode back down to second creek and they were still biting. I know better and usually stay in a general area and fish instead of running all over the place hunting greener grass. I fished piers with floating area in 5 to 8ft and fished them all the way to the bank. Good luck wherever you go. Enjoy the awesome weather....Quote:

Put a lot of miles on High rock yesterday playing around and exploring a little bit + netting a little bait. Main lake from just above 2nd all the way to abotts is pretty muddy. further above its starting to clear out. the backs of the creeks are stained, but just right in my opinion. never went below abbotts.
Did not find any fish shallow yesterday, but everything in the 12-18ft range. 80+, but everything was 8-9 inches with a few larger in the mix. I blame it on overcast skies, and wind blowing.
Water temp 57
If you were in a white boat throwing a cast net under the Goodman Lake bridge I passed you a couple of times....Quote:

This 60 degree water has moved the males to the shore line. Hope this helps. Tournament at Jordan today. Good Luck fellows. They are shallow!!!!!!

My Friday experience was much like Pete’s. Everyone said the fish were shallow, but most everything we caught was in 20 fow, but fish were at about 10-12 feet. Caught about 70-80, ~25 in the 9-12 inch range. Fished all over Abbott’s Creek, but caught most in 2 spots. They were biting if you could find them. Fished all day, sun up to sun down.

Fished for a couple hrs late yesterday evening and managed a good haul. Had 3 over 2lbs, one being almost 3.5lbs. I posted the story on the main crappie page. All these were caught between 2 and 6ft. They were hammering the jigs and pulling like a freight-train.
Caught them yesterday on the bank from 2-8 ft, kept about 20 fish, plus other species but no tuxedo's yet. All were caught on minnows.
where you the one in the Jones Brothers skiff? The only boat i really saw all day. Not entirely sure which bridge you consider the Goodman lake bridge. If so, very nice looking rig as well.Quote:

Really nice fish! Great information, thanks for sharing.
Awesome fish!
Wow, Great Fish! Its time to get a big one!.
This one will be swimming again in High Rock real soon if not already. They are gonna tag it for the upcoming crappie tournament that last several weeks. I wonder how old that fish is considering how fish grow in High Rock??Quote:
