I would much rather take my canoe after crappie than sit at a dock surrounded by people. Are there any hot spots on joe pool that I can access easily? Any help its greatly appreciated.

I've been kayaking the creek off 661. There's also Walnut Creek, you can get to from Loyd Park. Could also try fishing around the boat docks at the marina.

I know walnut creek pretty well, I've spent many days this past summer fly fishing there.......having any luck in the creek off 661?

It's been slow, I'm still new to creek fishing for crappie, but they are in there.

I'm pretty much new to crappie fishing in general, I've never gone out with the intent if catching just crappie....they have always been a bonus....but I hear once you get on them its a blast.....

Yeah, I'm pretty much new to anything other than drowning minnows at the dock. It's been about 9 months since I got my yak and took up fishing with a passion. I don't always bring anything home, heck I probably get skunked more often than I'd care to admit, but I'm learning each trip and I always have a good time on the water.

I tend to stick with what I know, thats panfish, catfish and bowfishing.....and I can do all three with varying success putting in at lloyd park......I do catch a few bass here and there tho...

rg6942, there are crappie in that same area I saw you with the fly rod. Check my log for some of the crappie I caught there.

That is a nice fishing log
