At what point does the night fishing w lights get good? I fish em hard from December till early April from the marina dock and leave them alone the rest of the year. I might start getting after them at night all summer this year. Allatoona is closest to me.

I’d guess right now . I know they are stacked under the bridges first thing in the mornings

I caught the ones above at night under a light. Earliest I have been out though. I usually start fishing at night in may.

Yes. I have put all kind of structure out and caught fish on them within days of sinking. Problem is that it never stays in the same place once it gets found. Heavier in deep water is better but it will be found.

Crappie.com has a great forum on making and putting out structure

Absolutely crushed them on West Point this evening. Fished a variety of structure types and they all seemed to be holding tons of fish. All caught on jigs.

Fished the NCL Georgia trail this year. First crappie trail I fished and we had a blast already ready for the fall trail. Fished 5 tournaments with 3- 1st place finishes, 2- 2nd places finishes, 2- big fish winners and the Spring trail points champion. Hopefully I can keep getting lucky.

My dad’s West Point report from this morning .
The bite is slow but the quality is great . He said he went through 7 different jigs before he found one they liked .

Congrats Brandon on a Great Season and NCL Ga Trail Champon! And a great way to seal the deal Sat on Oconee with unfavorable conditions and finicky fish.

Me and my dad fished a few hours on West Point this morning , not many but good quality .

 

[Arrow3]

Took my uncle and his grandson out on Clarks Hill today. I basically just ran the boat and took their fish off the hook. We caught 45 and left them biting. Had a lot of good ones.

 

[Arrow3]

Still working on them. Caught 110 this past weekend.

Went out today alone for a few hours. They were eating good and slabs too.

Is it to late/early to long line sinclair? headed up for the weekend. I know it will have to be earlier or late in the day with the boat traffic.

Never fished Sinclair but we are catching them on West Point tight on structure dropping a jig straight down to them . Good luck and remember we like pictures
