Good report Gene. Its been many years since I fished in Gaston. Our favorite place was Lizard Creek. I guess because I hooked a monster in there once but lost it at the boat.
-
Glad you got out and caught fish. Most of my fish also have been in the 9" to 11" range. Seem to catch a few 13 to 14" to keep it interesting. I plan on fishing some maybe Monday and Tuesday.
-
Yep, dang water bugs ruin the fun for us fishermen. Glad you got out and caught a few. I have not been out in weeks.
-
Great report Gene!!!! Gaston was my second best right behind Kerr.

Good you and the wife got some line action before the warrior wave action took over. I agree "cooler days mean less waves". lol

Thanks for the information. Never fished either lake but got to visit them when we had to leave the coast while on vacation do to Florence. Big water for a Pa boy!Perhaps I can learn a little more and make a trip there for some slabs. We eat lunch at the Laplighter and enjoyed our day.

I went out Monday on Gaston and caught a 14" slab. I noticed that on one of my spots the crappie had left the structure and were suspended over the creek channel. Water temps are down 8 degrees over a week and a front came through with NE winds. I realize I have a lot to learn about why crappie do what they do.

Mustfish, when you figure them out let me know, I was hoping to go this week but with funeral and 2 dentist appointment,grass cutting and other things I will not be able to make it,and just think when you retire you have all the time to fish,ha ha

Nice cats. Glad you got on fish. My company left early today so I ran up to Stonehouse creek. I had a good 2 hours of fishing. Caught several throw backs and finished the day with three fish in the 12-13" range. I caught the three biggest fish about 150 yards right in front of Outdoor World camp ground. There was BBQ in the air and rock & roll for the ears.
