Decided to go crappie fishing instead of hunting for that big ol stiper the other day and came home with Nothing... made the drive all the way to clarks bridge for that cold morning and couldn't graph a single fish.. water temp was 37 degree..
anyone know where some of these crappie might be hiding during this cold time of the year..?

Look 1/2 of the way back in 4 mile. Graphed a bunch there on Monday.

what does crappie look like on a graph..

Agree with Brett, 4 mile is hard to beat on the south end. Concentrate on the deeper docks for now unless you have the equipment for spider rigs. I will try to give a more detailed answer soon.

FYI: a good site for really crappie stuff...pun intended:

Definately 4 mile, but what about Wahooooooooooooooooo!?

Year after year, the highest concentration of crappie per acre of water is wahoo, little river, clarks bridge, yellow creek, and thompson creek. I would say 4 mile has been better than normal the last few years for some unknown reason maybe the lake level.

This is all eye opening to me.. I used to catch da croppies on nightcrawlers under a bobber, or small jigs.. Them some GOOD eatin'!!

You must've only caught them in the spring Walrath. Please tell me you don't pronounce crappie, croppie......there's nothing more frustrating to a southern fisherman than that.

I'm a new freshwater fisherman, don't think I've ever seen a crappie

About the only thing I would say is as tasty as a T-bone.

Don't you mean sac-a-lait?

People only call me Walrath when they mean business, like my boss.. I will NEVER call a crappie a croppy so long as I live.....

I think a LSU fan might be outnumbered around here.

A suck-a-whut? Nah, just a crappie.

Dont forget speckled perch and calico. Got those from upstate New York and Michigan

I'd rather go with a suck-a-whut.

look guy's I fished the hell out of 4 mile Tuesay for crappie and didn't get a one. Now I'm no pro but I have done pretty good on them in the past at a different time of year. A friend of mine said that he has done well around Bald Ridge the past week. We are south end guys though....

Unfortunately, I don't think you can catch the suck-a-whuts unless you go up to Wahoo. I've got a friend or two doing pretty well up there the last little bit.

last I heard fishing under docks up in whaoo and little river creek is the place to be for crappie right now..

Waaahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I know of some really good crappie fisherman that swear by using long 9ft+ poles and sticking them underwater under the docks to get back to 'em using jigs or live bait. They use 11 and 12ft cane like poles and wear them out. Sounds kinda boring to me though. I'm used to 4# test, bobbers, and minnows on ultralight 5 footers.

Got a guy that wants to go crappy fishing monday. Are they biting yet? Any suggestions on where to go? Is Wahoo still a good choice?
