Stump fields between Farrington landing and Hwy 64 bridge and another in Ebenezer creek. Those are two off the top of my head.

Also some in Parker’s creek on the left side. They go way out further than the ones you can see above waterline. I would recommend getting navionic’s app. It’s awesome and will also pair to any electronics with navionic’s maps.

They are actually in 20+ feet of water! The Coprs of Engineers left trees standing in patches for fish attractors but most rotted at the waterline over the years. There are a few still standing but they all are still underwater. You'll see them clearly when the lake is down a couple feet.Quote:

If you are new to the lake and want to fish it, I would strongly recommend riding around the lake one day to see all the trees left standing. Several areas have large sections of trees left standing, but I have seen places with just 4-10 left up.
If you’re cruising through that woody area between Farrington and the mouth of white oak, stay way left (heading toward 64) between the green and red buoys. It’s very stumpy with this low water.
Has anyone had much luck in fishing these trees/stump fields. Never had any luck, may be that I have not put in much time single poling in those areas
Bass fisherman fish them. I tried years ago with minnow/bobber. Got a few crappie and plenty of cats.
I have had much better luck on Jordan trolling or tight-lining.
I've never had any luck in the stumps. But I have had luck on the points around the stumps between Farrington and 64. But that was any the spring. Then again I don't fish Jordan that much anymore.

I've heard people talk about years ago at night when there wasn't a limit on crappie there were coolers full of fish caught in the timber and big crappie at that. I hardly ever hear of anyone fishing the timber now but a couple years ago I went one night and caught plenty of small crappie, nowhere near 10 inches, I think I only had 3 or 4 big enough to keepQuote:

I wonder if anyone else has had any luck in the timber or is it just because of fishing styles that nobody fishes it much. I grew up in Georgia fishing timber all the time. I no it’s usually single pole but it always produced for me.

Couple of things--Jordan crappie are primarily eating threadfin shad and they are open water fish, not in tree fields. That is why we long-line and many tight-line as well. We're out there trying to get those crappie feeding on the shad.
The second best day I have ever had on Jordan was fishing in the trees between Farrington and the 64 bridge. It was single-pole and was fishing with my Father. It was late Fall and we found a school of slab crappie. As you guys know, Fall is a transition time and I don't think it was the trees, but that we were fishing in the channel. As the crappie move down-lake for the Winter, they are going to follow the creek channel and we happened to find a very good school. My advice is to spend time fishing the trees and see if you can develop a pattern for catching crappie.
Thanks for the advice JordanLimit. I think I will be taking stuff to fish the trees for a while near 64 bridge and then if I can’t get anything going I will try and find the channel and the bait fish. Hopefully I can find bait fish in both places.

Any color combination of jigs work best on Jordan.

I wanted to thank all the NC crappie.com guys that have me all the help with Lake Jordan. I caught some really nice crappie today and had a blast. If the sun hadn’t came out I would probably still be fishing.

Good job, glad you got some fish. Thanks for the report.
Did you end up single pole fishing, trolling?
Just ended up straight lining all day. Was planning on exploring a little bit but the sun came out and so did the jet skiers.
