The great Duck Jerky and I are going to Fork in the morning. Has anyone been fishing the 154 bridge since last Saturday when I was there last?? I want to know if the crappie are still hanging out under that bridge or any bridge.

Might be a tough row to hoe with this cold front.If the wind is blowing tomorrow like it is now the lake could be kinda rough.
One thing I will tell ya,better keep one eye on DJ.If the fish cooperate he'll have the livewell full before ya know it!

I'm sure James won't have a problem with the wind in that boat, might be a problem getting under the bridge though. Sharon

My wife, son and I fished two brief afternoons this week under 154--I think Monday and Wednesday. We were only there from about 5 till dark. Caught about a dozen with half decent fish on Monday. Caught over a dozen Wednesday with nearly all throw backs. We and most others favored the South end. We saw other fish caught in the same area Wednesday---nearly all throw backs.
I too am wondering if this cool front might send some bigger ones back that way.
Good Luck, DannyB

We caught about twenty under the 154 bridge Sudnay afternoon in about an hour and a half just before sundown. But only two were keepers---10.001 inch stretching the tails and lips.
I bet the good ones are in the creeks.

Countin' the swells, they was probably 26-feet deep...the swells were 6-feet anyway  James, take your rock and roll music with you so you'll be in-sync with the wave action once you get there...yeeeeHAAAAAAA! ------------------

Wife & I did the 515W bridge pilings Sunday. Cold all day until around noon, that's when the bite seemed to start for us. #4 piling is where we killed 'em. All on minnows. Probably got bewteen 40-50 in 3 hours. Wife also got a 5# LMB, had one other one bend her pole double that she was able to fight for about three minutes before it decided to head south with her minner, and I had one flash at the top after a small crappie I was landing, appeared to be 5-7#. Next time I'll have a jiggin spoon dangling from my hat, just in case. We were fishin in 32-34', fish were schoolin thru at about 20-24, and the water temp at the time we packed it in was a little over 58.
