Have you ever fished the swamp from a boat I have caught some nice ones fishing some of the springs in there

Good catch. I’ve never fished in that area, but it’s gotta hold crappie. That should be a paradise for them.
I have fished Blackwells swamp for crappie and have done real good using a fly rod and a wooly bugger flyQuote:

There's a big male and female Gator in Blackwell swamp. The female usually has a nest near where the channel leaves Blackwell headed towards the river.
the channel that runs back to the river is what my friends and I growing up here refered to as "blackwell ditch". I've heard blackwell run as well.Quote:

I've caught some absolute hammer Largemouth in the swamp. I caught a double digit in there last spring. I haven't fished it yet this year but will soon.
You putting a kayak in? I had mine yesterday and almost said screw it and put it in the swamp but the wind was up so I decided to fish the ditch from the bank. If any of you all ever plan a trip out there let me know. id gladly tag along.Quote:
