Texas Crappie Run

saltydog · March 30, 2013, 04:32:17 PM

Well for all of you living in Texas the crappie run has begun on lake Texhoma , almost limited out Fiday (our limit on this lake is 37 per day) . Another week of warm weather and they will be on the beds . All of them were caught on a 1/16 oz. jighead and my homemade crappie slug in glow orange matched to a 5' ultalight rod and a Zebco spincast with 8# floro.

And from Wed.

Way to go Salty. I grew up fishing fresh water and salt water. I enjoy the spring. Fish on the beds. Crappie and bluegill make for fine eating! Bob

THERE IS MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND FISH TO CHASE AT POWELL AND I HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING THAT FLOROCARBON AND DON'T WANT TO RETIE. WE CAN CARRY 24 POLES IN THE RACK.

BMITCH · April 02, 2013, 03:17:07 PM

24 plus rods 3 guys in the pictures. 8+ rods each. That's about right. My wife is always amazed at how many outfits I carry for a day of fishing. Then I remind her of her shoes.lol.

saltydog · April 19, 2013, 12:11:13 AM

Ah yes the shoe thing and remember all those handbags,skirts, blouses,and all that jewelry.

This year around here has been different to say the least .
March rains in May, Crappie spawning from late Feb. till the end of May. And it hasn't broke the 100 mark yet this year or even got close. But we still have a long summer ahead of us. And now it is time to go to the coast and get those Reds, trout and sharks.
