I'm new to the area and was wondering if anyone has some information about moro bay on the river below hermitage. Is this a good crappie fishing body of water? Also, I'm not sure if I spelled moro correctly.

I haven't fish for crappie at Moro bay, but have heard that the river and the oxbows near there has some good crappie fishing. Hope to try it out someday.
Thanks Stumpjumper. I was thinking about the bridge pilings for winter crappie. What do you think?
Bridge pilings are one of my favorite structures to fish, I'd definately give them a try.
moro bay can be great at times, depending on what the river is doing. right now its falling 1ft+ a day. should be back to normal in about a week. the bridge over raymond lake is usually a good spot. if i remember right its about 20ft deep there. the bridge over the river itself can be good when the current isnt too bad. there are several oxbows off the river that are great at times too. eagle, green, perogeethe are all nearby and are great and usually uncrowded. the river and lakes between calion and felsenthal is my "home lake" so i'd be glad to help you out if i can or show you some spots sometime
I have heard of all these places, but never fished them. Hopefully when I get retard I will have more time to fish more places. Thanks for the info, and I may holler at you for some specific info on these fishing holes sometimes.Quote:

LA, if you have to be a retard to fish more places then I should qualify:D I've fished Moro Bay several times in the last 10 years. I've mostly bass fished there with a local bass club, but have crappie fished it a few. Done well in Raymond Lake and in the bay itself by the ramp. One time while fishing a bass tounament, a club member came to weigh in with a livewell full of crappie he said that he caught out of the river channel. It was during the summer when there was minimal flow on it. Hope this helps a little, good luck!Quote:

went to moro bay today, fished from 2:30 till 5:00. kept 20 nice ones n threw back 3 or 4 smaller ones. biggest was 14 1/2 inches. all on shiners 6 inches off the bottom. my buddy who was with me had already left before i thought to get a pic. think he has a few on his phone tho. will check
Thanks boswell6. How deep was the water?
Thanks for the report Boswell, sounds like a good afternoon fishing.
12-14ft deep
Very nice. This is just what I like to see. A newcomer to crappie.com asking questions and finding answers, then posted what he/she finds and where he/she finds it. Only on this forum will you find folks like that.
cheezy,
just remembered you had asked about the bridge pilings. we tried the bridge in raymond lake for about 20 min. no bites. the water was real muddy in there for some reason tho. thought about the river bridge but was too cold 2 ride that far lol. the river looked great tho and was WAY clearer than the lake or the bay...
Thanks boswell6. I hope to get down there when the weather clears.
