kend Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've haven't been there, this year, YET! I've fished the lake many times over the years. A great body of water. Crappie BIG gills LMB LMB early spring: Rubber legged jigs and trailer (pork or plastic). Black/Blue Black/Chart Work if slow, or swim it, with pauses. Crappie: Shallow---work the wood. Mini-Mite or 1.5" tube baits, dressed with a waxworm, and rigged under a slip-float. Locations: Rocky shoreline areas. Grassy shoreline areas. Boat docks Wood (laydowns). Fish all the points and go up in the coves. Worked for me. ps---if you're at the Marina boat docks, and see the local Sheriff, tell him the "Mini-Mite Man" said HI!

kend Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 PS---Lake Paradise, is nearby. This is an excellent crappie and LMB lake. Small boat launch area on the north end of the lake. (See local map for back roads and boat ramps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
