First of all...Hello to the board.

I splashed a new boat today about 30 mins before dark at ebenezer and they were yankin em in at the boat ramp. I could barely get into and out of the ramp (kinda a problem really) because there was just no room left to drive between the bobbers. The guy on the dock that I tied to while parking the truck caught one while I tied off the bow line and another when i untied it to leave. When I came back, there were more bank fisherman along both sides, and at least 10 boats within 40 yds of the ramps, all fanned out inside of the no-wake. While I was slipping through the boats to find a way past, one boat had on a double, 3 others caught fish (all within a minute or so). So, it looks like you guys that crappie fish will have fun this weekend if the weather will allow....good luck.

I saw about 15 caught in the less than mins or so I was coming and going....

The way they were raking them in it looks like a great time to take kid and get them hooked..

Stats on where they were:
54 degrees
10-15 ft water
looked like depth of bait was about 4-5'



I will post up info on the stripers as I learn the lake. I am sure it is similar to Hartwell and Murray in SC, just got to learn the honey holes.....

Good to hear the news about Ebenezer. I'm headed to Jordan today to ply my trade with Mr. Crappie and your report is encouraging.

 

[Topsail Angler]

Thanks for the report deadriver and welcome to you and Doc!

 

[Dave B.]

I'll throw it in here too.. might be worth someone's time to check out the Robeson creek area and finger channel in/around there too...

 

[sundrop]

Welcome and thanks!

 

[Guest]

is there a bait shop near Pittsboro ?

 

[n4svz]

If you're heading for Jordan Lake from Pittsboro there's always the Wilsonville Store on 64 at Beaver Creek Rd. That's where you turn down to Ebenezer.

 

[SeaCat]

also there is Tops store back at the camper boat rentals on 64. I think their crappie minnows are a little bigger and fresher.

 

[Guest]

so how will rains affect the crappie fishing ?

 

[Scott Hobbs]

Sea Cat know his Striper minnows

Welcome aboard and thanks for the update, they must be in a trance and don't see the boats coming and going, should be other places they are biting not just at this ramp,

tight lines <*)))))>{

If the water goes into the bushes they should follow and we should to.

I have not fished eb before , i usually fish farrington area. Any tips on where I can take the wife on monday to get her line stretched. We will get bait at wilsonville and have jigs and nibbles. OH yeah, we will be in a boat, I have seen that back under the bridge is a fair place to start.

 

[fishyfishy]

After you pass under the bridge,try going down the right side.You can also try the submerged road bed in the first cove on the right.

thank fishy, we will be there early monday morning
