I was on anderson creek Wednesday looked up and here they come. I have seen the state boat with booms they use to shock and count fish before, but there was four boats going up the creek. It was a something to see they headed to the back of the creek. Any body on this forum see them and have a clue what they were doing. I have followed them but didn't this time.
They must have shocked them good. Spent 3 hours in Anderson Creek today. Not one crappie trolling. Several stripe.
That was the reason for my post the creek has not been good to me, if you fish the creek much you have seen me I shoot docks and that is all I do. The fish under shallow docks for me have not been there. I know the state checks our waters but never seen four boats together before, hope they do something to help I have not had a good spring in several years. I am retired don't want a limit but a good outing would be nice. I release most big fish something has changed on elk fish are hard to come by. Thoughs please
The weather we have had hasn't helped the fishing much this year. I've been talking to others in different areas around the state and I believe we are all experiencing the same thing as us here in North AL.
Must have been you in the Alumacraft Stick Steer i spoke with yesterday? I was the guy with the Venture boat trolling.
That was me, wish i would have followed those guys would like to know what they were checking for.
It is a spectacle to see. Hope y'all have better luck
I know what I'm about say was last year.... But... I saw them out last mid april and asked them about their trip and general curiosities and they said they were shocking up white bass for stock at Tim's Ford of all places.

They weren't shocking up many crappie there last spring. I haven't done any good there the last few years and don't know what happened to Anderson creek and lower Elk, but it is depressing
Several years back, bank fishing on Hatchett for walleyes ,if I saw I packed up and left.

When I was younger Anderson was a real hot spot. Never hear anything about it anymore. Also shoemaker branch. Never hear about it either.Quote:

If you want to know what they are doing and why they are doing it here's a link for contact numbers to every biologist in the state with district maps. I have spoke with my area biologist many times over the years. They want to hear what you have to say. Most of the info they make rules and laws over comes from us. I'm guessing with the replys to this area loosing fish numbers they have heard about it and doing thier job to investigate
thanks i will call monday and post what i find out
I was thinking they were looking for bighead or silver carp?
They were looking for carp and there have been very few silver carp found on wheeler, pickwick has quite a few.
The state is checking fish again this morning, they were on the east bank just a little south of the 72 bridge could see them when i crossed. May be something will come of this.
