Really good day on high rock. Kept 20 nice crappie along with 3 nice cats. Threw back probably more than that in the 8 or 9 inch range. Also caught more cats than I ever have. Pulled across one point and had 4 cats on 4 jigs at once. Boy what a mess. Had to rerig three outfits. Pulling jigs in about 18 fow. Got a few before and after pics.
Good job.
Looks like they were really biting before the front made it here! Good job and good looking filets as well.

Very nice table shot. Good job. Sure does look tasty.
Probably the biggest and best bite I have had all year. Nothing better than fresh crappie filets.
That’s right!
Good looking pile of fish. Glad you found them. Hopefully the bite will continue to get better. Looks like it will be another 2 weeks before I can go again. Water temps probably in mid 60's by then.

That’s a good day right there! Purr-dee fish. Had to zoom in by cats, looked like an eel. Nice job.

Kept 6 nice keepers the last hour and a half. Bait had moved quite a ways towards the back of the creek, but couldn’t pull any crappie from it.
I've never fished Potts, swearing, nor Abbott's creek on the east side of the tracks. Thinking about trying one of those. May not be able to get under the bridge Abbott's so that may make my choice a little easier.
This will be my first winter fishing high Rock. Is there usually a winter draw down on that lake and if so about how much. That may also determine if I spend any time learning my way around Abbott's creek. If it's going to be closed off to me due to the low bridges for 3/4 of the year I don't see much sense in it.

Yesterday at lunch went home and water had came up 7 inches or so and was dirty...5pm they had opened gates since noon and water dropped 4 to 5 inches and cleared up nicely... managed a dozen 9 to 11 inch fish off my brushes in about 30 mins...
Lived on high rock my whole life and associate Abbott's creek with warmer weather crappie fishing shooting docks and fishing brush piles... all my winter crappie fishing is normally on main lake from summer place down to panther point and all in flat swampQuote:

Most of the fish were caught on cranks and about 10 nice fish off brush. Water temps were 67 in this area and a little bit of debris from the wind and rains.
