A couple buddies and I fished Green River this past Friday and Saturday. We probably caught 250 or so. When all was said and done we wound up with 102 keepers with the largest being 12.5". That front that moved in slowed the keeper bite down. We fished 14 hours a day also. All came on minnows tight lining. Going to take the wife down for her birthday on Oct. 11, 12, 13. If anyone has any info that they would like to share it would be greatly appreciated.:) We will be staying at Holmes Bend.
Sounds like you need to give us some info lol. Nice catch.Quote:

Great catch.
They were on cover in 20' of water. We fished 8 to 10' deep. I expect that with the cooler weather all that is going to change before we get to go back. We usually catch some this time of year on the flats.
sounds like alot of fish...cool deal..im headed down to fish the lake for the first time this weekend...10/13/12...any suggestions? im staying at emerald isle and would prefer to fish closer to that area if possible...water depth, cover? ect.. would be helpful..thanks
Bossman .... there's plenty of brush piles within sight of Emerald Isle marina. You have a PM !!Quote:

I'm headed to Green on the 12th. Will be putting in at Holmes Bend, so I am sure I will have driven all the fish to your side of the lake by the time you get there bossman. :hatchet:
I just started crappie fishing this year and haven't had a good day yet. Crappiepappy sounds like you have been on Green a few times any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ive been after crappie for nearly 30 years i guess and sometimes they are elusive...this will be my first attempt at some slabs on green river lake...I normally fish weiss lake where i have a camper set-up for year round rough living and we have fished cumberland some...ive heard some good things about gree and hope i can find a couple honey holes...good luck to you...
Yeah, I've been there a time or two ... but, for the most part it was many years ago & only in the Spring. I'm still a bit new to Fall fishing there, so I just follow the advice of those that frequent the lake often.Quote:

It also doesn't hurt to hook up with, or just meet up with other members ... share info, learn new tips & tricks, & make new friends. I don't get to go often, so it's a good thing that I just like to fish, be out on the water & out of the house and away from work :woohoo

Yep I understand..I teach school and we have Fall break starting today at 3:00..Im just happy to get away from here and get on the water whether I catch fish or not...I bought a houseboat and it is docked at emerald isle and ive not stayed my first night on it yet, so im excited even if the temps might dip a bit at night...thanks for the heads up...I look forward to giving it a shot...the guy i bought the houseboat from doesnt fish but he said they catch plenty of crappie right at the boat, so if nothign else ill drop a few lines and active minnows and try that...but im headed that way as soon as school lets out...
Fished Green yesterday. It was 9:00 or so before the fog lifted. About 35 degrees when we put in at Site One. Not much action on the flats near Bruner Creek. Went to Holmes Bend and fished some brush. Lake is up with temps around 67-69 by the end if the day. Wind was nasty from time to time. Picked up a lot of small fish but only put 12 in the cooler. Water stained. Used minnows over brush and tight lined with minnows drifting points and around rock ledges with structure underneath. Marked a lot of fish at 23 ft in 50-60 ft of water but none biting.
Saw four boats on the flats near Holmes. Tried that last weekend and had no luck. Don't know how those folks did yesterday.

There's actually aplace on green called the honey hole. From holmes bend you head east and its the first bin on the left I think.
So bossman 313. How did you do? Did you catch a bunch of crappie?
Well I did not burn it by any strecth of the imagination. But I had boat trouble. Broke my gear lever, but thankfully I had a spare. Then my min kota co-pilot did not want to work at all. Still isnt working? I just had it worked on by replacing the "motherboard". I guess I will have to take it back to dealer for repairs. But I did find alot of brush piles along the rock bank and a few piles up in Burner Creek. I did not fair to well at any of those palces and wound up going back to the houseboat and fishing. I guess I caught around 40 but I would safely say only a few were actual keepers. I suppose it will take me a while to figure things out. The wind blew my deck boat off the water on saturday and I could not stay anchored down over the piles. Once I get my co-pilot working effectively I feel like I will do better. I did catch three very nice arm length channel cats...heading back this Thursday for a long weekend....hopefully the weather will cooperate some...Quote:
