Neely Henry Crappie Fishing Report For December 2022:
With all of the rain and swift current on the main channels at Neely Henry Lake you can still put together a nice bag of fish when you find them. In some coves you can find crappie stacked up just out of the current and in coves on creek channels in 10 to 18 ft of water. You can look for groups of fish on structure with Livescope and casting a crappie jig (such as a Red Rooster Jig or Pop's Jig) or single pole with the length that you mostly feel comfortable with (I use a 14ft Pro SE Outlaw Crappie Pole for single poling). You can also be successful longlining or spider rigging in coves and creek channels. For Longlining I would start with a 1/24 jig head and add a #7 split shot if see fish deeper in the water column than 6ft. Good Luck and if you want to learn more about crappie fishing Neely Henry Lake this time of year, give me a call and we can schedule a trip!
