One of the hardest things to learn at Buggs is the progression of the bite. I usually start titelining in the upstream creeks in late Jan or Feb, Buffalo, Bluestone, Sandy, Orange, Aarons, an Peters. These are the first to warm an the first to get prespawn movements. The titelining bite will be best there til the water warms up into the mid 50's, then the dock shooting bite starts to be the best option. This will last til the end of May/first of June. The spawn is pretty much done in the creeks by then an they will start showing up on main lake stuctures from Buffalo down to Clarksville. Then ya have to follow the bite down the lake to the deeper water as it warms into the summer. At some point in late Summer they will start biting better on the main channel back up the lake. This is just general patterns. I usually fish an area til I quit catching fish then move an check the next best areas for the time of yr. If you continue to fish the Nutbush area, you will quit fishing Buggs thinking its a terrible crappie lake, IMHO. Theres bout 10 times better crappie population up the lake than it is down at Nutbush, in my limited experience. Hope this helps! Rite now we are doin best in Butchers an Panhandle castin an vertical jiggin brush.
