Thread: Headed To Buggs with a 9.9hp HELP

Hello,

longwood landing on hwy 15 is 1 of my favorites & lot of good spots outa there you can reach w/ 10hp- left or right out of landing good fishing-if you go right then keep bearing right into a big cove with campground on right- it go's way back in there to an airstrip - lota good fishing there within easy reach 10 hp - good luck let us know how you do!

Thanks for the reply. I will send a update while I am there.
Maybe I can finally show some pictures of what a crappie looks like. LOL

Rudds and Butchers is perfect for a small engine. Launch at Rudds Creek on 58 east of clarksville. You have acess to 2 bridges and 2 great creeks. Couldnt really go wrong with Longwood either.

Buffalo is good too.

I use to put in at the state park and fish Sandy with my 9.9.

I seen ya in Bluestone yesterday, kinda muddy ain't it! Buffalo was also, we done best up in Goodells an at Sandy. Hunter's suggestion on Longwood should be gettin good now. or maybe put in at Rudds an try that area. Let us know how ya do!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Heres my report of my trip to Buggs Island with a 9.9hp

Friday: I put in at Bluestone, water was muddy. Pulled up to first dock and caught a 1.11 pound--15 inch crappie. HOTDOGGGGG Ok its on!! Third cast broke my shimano $90 rod in half, lucky I have a lifetime warranty on it. But Im still hottttt. I ended up catching 6 fish off 2 docks out of fishing at least 50!!!!

Saturday: I put in at Grassy Creek, the water was not as muddy. OK I rode a hour to the first spot and caught a catfish. I kept going ended up just catching 6 crappie and 2 catfish.

My goal was 10 fish, so I made that, I think im going to upgrade to a 60hp on my boat. I did see FishDoc put I could not catch you in my 9.9hp LOL>

Thanks,
