Clarks Hill 10/28

[Fisholishous]

Fished the Hill today with Stanley. Water temps 68-70 deg F. Fish were surprisingly very shallow. Caught most fish in less than 10 FOW. Pulled 1/16 oz jigs. We kept 30 fish or so. About a 50-50 mix of crappie and white perch. Caught a few throw back LMs and a small Striper too. Here's a pic of one of the better crappie and a screen shot or two.

Congrats on the day of catching on the Hill. On your screen shots were those just fish or fish holding on stumps? I know a place on the Hill that has a bend like the one y'all was working (may be the same one) that has a line of stumps that fallow the river channel bend and when the crappie are in the shallow water they will hold on the stumps.

Thanks for the report.

Great catch and a good report. Glad seeing the fish are in such shallow waters. I know of a few places about that deep that I should try soon. Thanks for reporting.

Hi Ronnie,
Might be stumps with fish. Can't recall if stumps are present, haven't seen it dry in a while. We weren't getting hung up too bad though. Usually kind of hard to mark fish when that shallow, but could have been all the perch in there too. We were above the big rock, in the new creek. And I drive a ford truck these days. Hope that helps. I was just glad we found something that would bite!

The one I'm thinking about is in another state.

When that lake was low for so long I took the time to go in a kayak and looked at many places I fished for years and always wondered what I had been seeing on the depth finders. Amazing to see a lake without water and the way it all comes together for why the fish are where they are.
