Jordan today Nov 22

Put in at New Hope this morning about 8:15, thinking Ebenezer wasn't rite. ( Ebenezer is 👍). Alot of big trees floating around New Hope ramp, went to Ebenezer bridge , caught a few dinks , went up beaver Creek a little ways, couldn't mark bait fish , some here and there , but not stacked in tight balls , like before all the rain. Bait balls were tight before rain in 10-12 ft. Bait has scattered and crappie are on the bottom in 17-20 ft. And I mean on the bottom. Dropped jigs and minnows ( tight lining ) to bottom reeling up 2 cranks, moving at 0.12-0.20. Boom that was trick. Took about 3 hrs. to find pattern. Caught about 40 plus, brought home 15 , 3/4-1 pounders.

Don't know what #128077 is. , said Ebenezer ramp is good to put boat in.

Thanks for the report.

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
I'm planning to go on Tuesday if it works out.

I noticed the same thing with the crappie yesterday on Gaston. The fish that weren't oriented on brushpiles were belly on the bottom. Like you said right on the bottom. I vertical jigged them but did not have smashing results.

Exactly , crappie holding tight to bottom. They moved from 14 ft to 18-20 ft on bottom.

The ones we caught yesterday was in 26’ of water and we caught them at 16’

And they were how big ? Everything we caught. Today 75% was 13-14 "

Mac, we ran the lake today from other side of 64, boats were stacked on left side going under bridge
. so there are fish in deep water or there wouldn't have been that many boats in that area( deep water)water under 64 was a flow ,eddys behind pillons. We found fish in deep coves with deep water entering coves. We've come to the understanding that if u have bait balls stacked near entrances of a deep cove, when water rose to 13 ft. Bait is dispersed and most move to mouth of big cove in deeper water and will rebunch after water recides. Imho I don't think it's a turnover situation because how can a turnover happen with a water rise at 8-9-10 ft.

whoa bud, mac just tried to throw in his experience and because it conflicted with yours you knocking on the size of his fish like you know it all, dang bud, i got to be honest here and point out the fact that you mentioned that you kept 15 that were 3/4 to 1 lb, im gonna assume those where your biggest, but then ya say 75% were 13-14'', a 14'' black crappie from jordan is gonna be dang near 2lbs if not over just depending on what is in its belly at the time, conflicting statements here, i wasn't gonna bring this up till you got to knocking on mac like that, he might not be the crappie master like yourself but when he says it its purdy close to true, lol

my experience was the same as macs, we actually caught some even higher in the column too at 12' early on

Kevin i know what you caught because I saw you pulling them in left and right and I saw what you weighed in at the tournament. I caught some down there a couple of weeks ago and a couple of them were right at a 1 lb and 11/2 lbs but when I got home and cleaned them they were stuffed with shad

Didn't weigh fish just measured them.

Mac, I was not trying to disclaim any thing you said.
I was just telling what I saw and did.
We didn't have scales, just measuring stick.
I know you have many years of crappie fishing than I have

I cleaned fish yesterday after being on ice all night, 3 were 14" and 6 at13", and no shad in there bellies , but had row in most of them.

Dang you'll some serious fishermen! :Rofl
