Went up river a few miles a few days ago was able to catch a limit of crappie and 18 white bass on minnows. I am a live bait angler and have always been able to get minnows from Fisherman's Corner 210-213-2534 at the entrance to Potters Creek it seems they always have minnow this over many years. I have tried other bait shops a few times and they always seem to be out when the fish are biting or go out business. Fisherman's Corner are only open 8 hours a day but that enough for me. The owner and I are both disabled vets and I will always support DAV first.

Same here....we boated close to 90 between 2 of us. Nice Haul! Good job. Side Note: Friends of mine who fished yesterday and today all reported good results. For the Anglers who are not all that familiar with the Guadalupe River it is divided by several generator dam lakes. They are Lake Dunlap,Lake Mcqueeney,Lake Placid,Meadow Lake,Wood Lake, and Lake Gonzales. I think there is one more called the 4H Lake but I may be wrong. All of the lakes with the exception of Lake Gonzales run between New Braunfels and Gonzales. I think Lake Gonzales is just east of Gonzales.(Never been on that lake before,only told about it. I have also never been on the 4H Lake and have only heard about it also. As for the other Lakes I have fish all of em mainly for Sunfish but I have also caught my share of Crappie. As for exact locations you kind of have to know the water bodies to find em and you also need to know how to fish em. Right now some safe and accurate information on all the above places to fish is they are being found in shallow water 2 to 4 feet deep. (Spawn is on). Look for Lily Pads,brush piles and stick up's along with tree limb overhangs in that water depth and you should do good as long as the bite is on. So far the late afternoon bite between 3'O clock and 6 O'clock are the best times. Minnows,and a wide variety of jigs are working. Best color for jigs is Chartreuse/Black,Chartreuse/pink,and light green. If I had to rate the best river spots for me they have been as followed. #1. Meadow Lake.#2.Lake Mcqueeney.#3.Lake Placid.#4. Wood Lake.#5 Dunlap. I have also done good on Canyon Lake fishing the Upper Guadalupe there. Hope this kind of helps out. Good luck and stay safe.

According to the research before I went a few weeks ago, I read that Lake Gonzales is also known by the name H-4. Just to clear up any confusion.
Wishing I was in my kayak.

Awesome fish guys. Great seeing you still have em dialed in.
Side Note: Some look like they have spawned out? Also got to love that Chartreuse color.

Thanks "Looking for 25" and "Gitter Done" for the replies. "Gitter": Seems anything with the Chartreuse color in it WORKS! Side Note: Reports I am getting from other anglers who fish the Guadalupe on a regular basis is the Crappie bite is still good and that most fish are being caught in water that is 2 to 10 feet deep. The spawn is also still ongoing.

Caught 20 today up to 15". Jigs and minners, most from 8-12 ft. Haven't had much luck fishing shallower. Chartreuse is good, but also good with pink/white. Also caught a little 14" flathead...twice. Pretty sure it was the same one.
No fish is too good for the grease.
