Welcome to the board. I can't help you, only give you some 2nd hand hearsay. My neighbor/occasional fishing partner back in TX was born andQuote:

say is at some point there was good crappie fishing there. He was about
as honest with his fish stories as they come. Well, he kept his lies fairly
believeable anyway. :p Good luck.

Claytor is a tough lake to fish.....the fish will go deeeeep quick and scatter. When I fish Claytor I start at the Lighthouse Bridge and fish coves down to the last cove on the left before reaching the dam...This cove has 2 metal buildings on the left after entering the cove. Fish in front of the 2nd building. There is a pretty good brushpile there and you may also catch a couple of Perch...Quote:

Panangler. I recommend you start a new thread as this one is 9 years old.
