Anybody crappie fishing?

Not hearing much out of the crappie fishermen. Arrow3 talked to some fellers the other day when we were going rabbit hunting and they said that they caught some nice ones the night before under the Swords bridge. This time last year we caught some nice ones at Oconee. I had one that went 2 lbs. 4 oz. I haven't been yet but plan on getting the boat ready soon.

I have been a few times, Weathers been to nice not to go. I have been fishing mostly Lake Tobosofkee and Blackshear. I have put a few fish in the boat, mainly spider rigging using jigs, nothing big yet just catching 15-20 per trip. Going to give Sinclair a try on Tuesday when I get back from fishing in the Gulf. I hope it cools back down to near normal tempertures, cause if it don't the specks will be spawned out by March.

I'll let you know, if all goes as planned I will be at westpoint to do a little crappie fishing on Saturday. Hope the mud settles a little bit by then, and the wind lays down.

We went this past Saturday afternoon. We fished Yellowjacket Creek around the first buoy marker above Beech Creek over some brush piles. We caught about 25 in about 3 hours but they were all dinks except for 3 or 4. We caught them on black and blue or brown fire tiger Hal Flies in about 13 to 15 ft. of water. Water temps. was 54 to 56 degrees and had just the right amount of stain. It was very overcast that day with no wind.
Good Luck to all and leave a few for seed.

I've not been on the water yet but watching the weather for an openeing. But over the past few weeks I've notice that Target has been clearancing out their Storm Wildeye Swim Shad (4th one down) in several colors in the 2-3" length for $1.98 a six pack.

Happy bargain hunting! :cheers:

I have been out to Paradise Pfa a few times in the last week and I'm starting to catch a few small ones. It will be a few weeks before we start catching too much.

Don't forget about the SlabFest this weekend at Lake Blackshear! Smitty can tell you more about it. He's posted some good information on a thread.
