Myself,Mike "USMC-GY",Fred "Rionator" and Matt "Southtexasduckman" fished the Guadalupe River the other day. We started out looking for big Sunfish (Bluegill/Redear) and ended up finding a mess of Crappie. We fished from 7:30am till 3pm and had non stop action. Boated over 100 fish. We released most of em but kept some for the frying pan. Fish were located in 8 to 16 feet of water by overhanging tree limbs and drop offs. Jigs,Chartreuse/Pink and Green/Purple were the baits of choice. The sunnies were hitting worms and small jigs and were located in water 3 to 6 feet deep close to the bank by tree over hangs. Fishing the Guadalupe River with friends. It just don't get any better!

Great job, looks like some non-stop fun. Just curious, did the crappie hit a worm first causing you to switch to jigs or were you throwing some jigs targeting the sunfish? All the times I've had that happen, I didn't know the crappie were in there, all the sudden one hits a worm and you switch over and yank em out.

Nice mess of crappie ! My hat's off to you guys. Crappie have always stumped me. I have looked for them
at times, but never any luck. Some day !

Thanks Doc and JigandJeep for the replies! "JigandJeep" : I started throwing worms while Mike,Matt,and Fred were throwing jigs and sliders. Seemed ever type of fish was biting that day including some nice Bass!

Awesome- fish don't have a chance when you guys hit the water!

Some good eating there! Nice catching, Chuck & All.

Banker and buddy...that is one hell of a stringer! Thats what Im talking about

Thanks Bob and AJ for the replies. The Crappie bite has really picked up on the Guadalupe River!

One word Chuck! "AWESOME". Good job guys. It is going to be a super Crappie bite once it gets colder.




Side Note: Bite has been off this week. Have you been east lately?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! This latest warm spell did not help the Crappie bite at all! Looks like some SUPER COLD weather is on the way this weekend! This should help the bite a lot. Me and Mike have been fishing the east side docks a lot and the Crappie bite has not been at that good.

The Crappie and Big Redear will be getting active for sure after this latest cold front! Will be fishing this upcoming Monday and Tuesday! I agree this last warm spell did nothing at all to help the bite!

Man you guys got it going on ,great job.

Thanks Curtis and Stubby for the replies. Curtis: Winter patterns for sure! Hope you guys have a great year.

Now that is one fine mess of grease stinkers. Nice catch.

nice mess of crappie banker!...did you see the lone star outdoor news? they printed part of your post in their newspaper
