Gonna leave out tomorrow to head north towards lake Jordan and fish a few days. I’ve never been there before and would like to know how they behave and move there (crappie) and navigating the lake (stumps trees etc) any help would be appreciated

Be sure to get a map of the lake. There are places with many acres of trees left in the water. The lake is up about a foot and a half, so 95% of the trees will be under the water. Wildlife Dept. has done a good job of putting up warning buoys in some of the largest areas. Fishing should be good--we'll be out there this Sat.
Which ramp are you putting in at?? Which area of the lake do you plan to fish??
It might be a bit easier if you could or would narrow it down a bit more.
Welcome to the site by the way.
I plan on putting in around poplar point campground. Would like to fish nearby. But I’ll have a full tank of gas in the boat to search if I have to.Quote:

Didn’t get down there today. As a semi retired stay at home dad/home school teacher some times unexpected family responsibilities pop up. Family always comes first. However, most of the time I can fish whenever I want, as long as I don abuse the privilege. I’ll try again tomorrow.
I am leaving now and will fish the s turns and lower lake area. will report.
What boat landings are open now at Jordan

I put in this morning at new hope. I fished the lower part of the lake and all I found was dinks. It looked like the Haw was backing up through the s turns and making it trashy. I didn't get skunked but no nice fish. The water was full of something small swimming at the surface and just below. One of the schools turned my screen blood red.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I went out this morning and found a few on my graph and picked a few 10-11 inchers out. Not many but a few, how is the night fishing here? I’m thinking about going tomorrow night

Is it muddy around 64 bridge?

From what I’m used to from my home lakes, it was pretty clearQuote:

Very rarely, even in hurricanes, does the 64 bridge area get muddy. I think it is an absolutely insane that the Ebenezer ramps are still closed. There is no way that a hand full of fishermen launching their boats are helping spread COVID19.
Last time passing there looked like ramps were good. Doesn't a organization own that ramp.?
NC Park Service. State-government owned.
Going to give Jordan a try in the morning, will give you my report.

I went out this morning and it was very windy and rainy. Wasn’t that rough for my boat, but really difficult to fish. So I’m just gonna play in bass pro shops today and go back out tomorrow

I fished Farrington today. It was windy, it rained, it wasn’t that bad. Water was stained, slightly muddy, and a fair amount of leaves and pine straw flowing. Water temp 70.
I got 34 (on the clicker) and kept 6 big ones. All on jigs, didn’t bring live bait. I tightline trolled at .8-1.1 and covered a ton of area. Can’t really say they’re in any type of pattern. Fish and bait are all scattered. I did the best in 12-18’ of water.
Im going to try to get down there again middle of next week. Good luck this weekend, if you can get on them, they’re biting.
I’m going to try to get there probably Tuesday

Went out for 1 hour or less this afternoon and picked off a few on jigs and minnows, spot locked on some structure in about 23 foot of water and had some bait around. Suspended about 10-14 foot, bite was pretty good. Gonna try to get back out on em tomorrow. Good luck to you all

I looked at that portion of lake and a little before it, but I put in around 64 bridge and don’t know how to run the lake. Any tips on running this lake?Quote:

I’m really only familiar with the lake north of 64, so no tips for the southern part. North of 64 about halfway to Farrington there is a massive stump field. Keep to the east side and stay inside the buoys, the channel is marked. Slow down and you’ll be fine. Aside from that, get a good map and watch for the shallow areas.
Thanks for the fishing reports everybody. I will be going Sunday and let you all know how I do.

Historically, the armada will be at the Farrington bridge in October and will be at the 64 bridge by December. We've been off Jordan for several weeks because of a tournament up on Kerr lake. Will be nice to be back on our home lake. If you see a black Tracker Targa, it will be Charles and myself running around. Typically we would be long-lining above the Farrington bridge this time of year, but have a couple of places to check out first. The Bigeyecrappieman tournament is in mid-November and we're determined to find out where those 2 lb.'ers hang out this time of year.
Obviously he didn't tell how deep he was fishing. Did explain water temps. Thanks for video was a great watch. As far as looking for fish around 64 bridge, I'd advise to look at maps. And look at close contour lines near a cove, where crappie are staging . more than likely the bait fish haven't been hemmed up in 10-12 ft. of water yet. Temp. still at 70° ?
Hopefully I will see you out there. I will be in a white Lowe john boat conversion.Quote:

Well. Fishing was great today, lost count of how many. Kept 15 keepers for a big fish fry, caught in 3-7 foot of water on jigs. Heading home for the week. Glad I made a trip up here
