    There's always a lot of crappie boats camping out on the timber fields in the Lick Fork areas.

    Any weekend day you are going to have company on Patoka. Walls to Kings would still be the place to go though. Don't think there is any camping near Osbourn ramp, just cabins unless something has changed.

    Is the tournament out of walls? I don't have any problem making a run across the lake. Not like it's a 50 mile one way trip like Kentucky. And thanks for the help. I'm not used to crappie fishing there so any help is welcomed.

    Most of the big tourneys go out of the south ramp - next to Patoka Lake marina you can see them from Hwy 145. Usually just small club tournaments out of Walls.

    Can't help with crappies - but see lots of them caught between Walls and Kingsbridge.

    Good luck!

    Upstream of Kings Bridge is normally pretty good about right now.

    I have a brother that has been fishing the area, he plans a trip this weekend.

    I have had good luck with red ear just down stream of Wall ramp on the north shore in the tall grass, about 12 ft of water. But that was a few years ago.

    Almost across from the Walls ramp there is a finger that use to have beaver and fat rock bass?

    There is an old creek channel or ditch that flowed into the old river by that cove. The one right across the lake from Walls Ramp.

    If you are wanting to keep a kid's interest in fishing try that cove this time of the year. I fished it once in eary May but it was cooler that spring. This spring April seems like Summer to me. It was almost 80 deg f yesterday at Loon Pit and the water temperatures at the surface of Loon Pit was 74 deg F over the deeper water and 78 Deg F at the surface in 4 ft of water.

    Kings and Walls are definately good places for crappies. But I have also found the Spring time to have crappies under and around the bridge to your left as you come out of the cove at Fishermans Campground. There is a boat ramp off that highway too. Fish the stickups around there and if you have a good fish finder, there is a submerged road before you get to that bridge holding good bass and crappie both.
