bank crappie fishing in southern IN

[Moose1am]

This past winter I went up to Oakland City looking for Snaky Point. I found the new Oakland City Lake too. I could not figure out where the launch ramp was on the new lake. I found the old city lake too. It's on the way to snaky point. LOL

The new city lake looked very nice. And I think someone above said that the launch ramp is on the South Side of the lake. I saw the campground and found it on the North Side of the lake. I saw a beach area too. But I could not figure out where the road went to get to the launch ramp? I'll have to go back up there again and take a better look.

Thanks for all the information moose! Im learning so much about crappie fishing from you. I see why crappie are not the most popular fish to fish for. It seems they take a lot more work to find and learn their habits. Im still going to give it a shot this week. If I dont catch any crappie Ill be happy with some bluegill. Anything to throw in the frying pan. It looks like the weathers going to be good thursday and friday so I think I may try Helfrich golf course. I saw on google earth they had a few small lakes on the west end of the course. Friday I may go up to bluegrass or Oakland city. Ill let you all know how I do.

Hey Moose How did you like snakey point. It gets pretty narley in there with all the lilly pads. I have a couple of buddies that take there jon boats out there and have cought some good 7 and 8 pounders in the spawn season. but once summer hits the lilly pads take over. I have always wanted to take my fiberglass boat out there but I just can't convince myself that it is worth the time since I like to concentrate on waters where tourneys are held. - By the way the Okland Cities New lake boat ramp is in the back side (South) it is a rock ramp. Instead of turning into the main entrance follow the rock road that goes past the dam. It makes a 90 degree right turn and then the very next rock road to your right is the road to thier ramp and the City shrub and brush dump.

Went to Bluegrass Monday water temps at 43 I hope they go up by the weekend.
Anyone Know about water temps up at Patoka?
