Has anyone fished EFL lately for crappie. Any reports at all for crappie? Not looking for places, just a report on conditions, water temps color, depth?
Any info appreciated. Good fishing!🎣

lake is finally stable
still has some color but improving
temps are mid 50 in the morning but rising through out the day
still a bunch of small fish
Even if the crappie are slow, the catfish are hitting. I’ve only been out once this year and it seems like a typical year to me...tons of small fish and might luck into a handful of keepers.
Thanks for report I was hoping for bigger fish this year...oh wellQuote:

Like Brian (EFslabs) said, it seems about like usual.
As long as you can catch fish that's what is fun.I throw back about every thing I catch

Fished EF yesterday for a few hours, fish on almost every cast, got tired of putting minnows on, so I started throwing a roadrunner. I don't say this often, but I was getting bored of catching fish lol. Probably caught over 100 fish with only 7 keepers. Next couple of years, the fishing there should be awesome.
I've been thinking that for the last 5 years.....LOLQuote:

….I just saw this. Wish I would have seen this earlier.
It was sort of a spur of the moment decision to go. I took my 83 year old uncle down for the day. We definitely didn't have any trouble catching fish just catching keeper size. Easily caught 150 plus & ended up with 8 keepers. We launched at the Reisinger ramp & fished that end for a couple of hours then tried what we have called the river and fished the cove by the Bantam ramp. Basically we tried all over the lake. Fished minnows under slip bobber for most of the morning & finally switched to throwing/dipping jigs & roadrunners. Didn't seem to matter what you threw they would hit it. Started off early fishing the banks but switched to the deeper ends of laydowns as the day went on. Sure is a lot of fish there that's for sure. It was something different for us as we almost always fish the Ohio river tribs.
I fished for a few hours the other night, had about the same results.

But the size of crappie, in a lake that size, is pretty frustrating. It was definitely better at one time, though never great, so I'm hoping they are getting bigger. I assume there's plenty of bait fish there still, but maybe that's an issue why the average size is still down.
mbk
Just “semi- retired” looking to fish more in South / Central Oh - live in Cincinnati— any help in places to go appreciated— also if I can tag along ( have boat) would be great — I release 99% of Crappie so not going to ruin your spots thx Jeff 513-313-2042
