Crappie at Casper Creek Lake in Edmund Orgill Park

[4onaside]

Any West Tennessee guys fish there? When I lived in Memphis metro you could catch a ton of 8" crappie shallow during the spring. Mucho fun on jigs,etc. I've been gone from over there for 10 years, and I heard that the size improved greatly since then?

Its in NE Shelby county NE of Millington. Golf course on it. Its not huge, but its out of the pond category also. Maybe 75 acres?

Only mention of acreage that I can find is 61.4 acres.

I go from time to time, as it's just a few minutes from my house. I haven't caught much crappie, though. I catch more bream and bass.

I lived in Raleigh and then Atoka and I also enjoyed catching one bream right after another on a light action flyrod. My high point was catching a 4lb largemouth on that rig. I enjoyed the place. However, its a little far as a "destination" from Jackson. ........or not!

I haven't fished there in years but I used to catch several 2-3 pound crappie out of there.

I've gone once every spring for the past couple of years. I think I'll keep the tradition going, because I have always come home with 7 or 8 nice bream. I have yet to catch a crappie out of there, but I haven't tried going after them specifically.

I started going because I was thinking about my grandpa, who died in '08, and how he always wanted to take me fishing there. We almost never caught anything, but he played golf on the course and consequently liked the lake.

I have just been fishing from the bank on the north side, walking most of the stretch from one end to the other. In most places, the drop-off is horrible and you sling your arm off trying to cast to decent water. If you find a few holes, the fish are packed in there though. Just gotta weed through the small ones.

I think I'll bring my dad this next time and take the boat. Just a bit warmer water...
