There have been several posts recently about catching fish on or close to the bottom and sure enough that was the ticket yesterday afternoon. And same thing on colors, white/yellow and tan/yellow seemed to get bit equally well. Didn't take long to hit a two man limit then probably another 30-40 solid slabs after that plus another 40 throwbacks. Caught fish as shallow as 4' in our boat slips hugging the bottom and as deep as 22' down on the bottom as well. Surprised there are not more reports from yesterday because there were boats crappie fishing everywhere.

Thanks to all that have been posting reports here lately.

Nice fish.

Nice catch.

Caught some slabs at LL yesterday and they were all near or at the bottom.
good catch!

Awesome day of fishing

Nice

Looks like you are still on the fish!!

Keep up the good work sir!

WTG Martin! Great catch!

Good and useful report! Thanks.

A limit for me on Friday , Agree , fish close to bottom . Found fish as shallow as 14 deep as 20. Bite seemed to pick up around noon. Blue/ chartreuse and white/ chartreuse.
Slab slobber seemed to help.

Had nice visit with Mayor of Berryville.

Good luck

Thanks guys. Good bite early this morning again. Finished one shy of a limit before church. Same pattern.

Is the trashbag to keep the boat clean or the fish???

Solid work!!!

Cool catch, nice pics. Thanks for the report

Ok, from one Aggie to another, I think it's safe to say you need to wash that boat!

If I live a little closer to you, I'd let u borrow my power washer. Nice fish, one of these days I'm going to live on Palestine.

"Solid intel" should be more solid by letting us know what lake you are fishing. Just saying. Well done.

If notice his location, Bullard , then it is obvious he is talking about Lake Falcon.

everyone knows there are no fish in Lake Palestine.

I take great comfort in knowing that I own the 2nd dirtiest Blue Wave on Lake Palestine.

Great Work Doc,


Good luck All

Solid intel = solid fish. Nicely done sir!

Themersome good looking lake snappers. Go deep then try it shallower if need be is my strategy .

I occasionally run down and fish by his slip to make me feel like my boat is cleaner than it actually is! It's filthy, but it looks pretty good next to his!!!

Glad to know everyone feels better about how clean their boat is after seeing how filthy mine is. It actually got half way clean when we got caught in a storm a couple of weeks ago and wiped it down after getting pounded with rain. It just got dirty again the next week putting out brush piles.

kichingback, I intentionally didn't include the lake because I don't think it really matters (but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out as Mo noted). There have been reports from several area lakes (Palestine, Fork, Lewisville and Murval to name a few) and a lot of them were basically the same and I was just reinforcing that. I will add that our slips are 3 miles give or take off the main lake so the fish there are probably behaving like creek fish. I wouldn't try fishing main lake brush in 4 fow if there is deeper stuff around.

Lane, just gotta say your baits rock and glad you got them back in production. That white/chartruse thumb chubby is a bad little bait but caught some on the shaddaboy and fighting farmer too. Truly outstanding product you have!

good catch

I appreciate your patience and giving them a chance on the water. Your fishing skills make them look really good

When i read a post I don't go looking for where someone is or look up what lakes are next to them. Waste of my time. If someone does not want to post a lake location I will skip those reports and not comment. But too many people are "bragging" rather than provide other fishermen a report to help them catch fish as well. Selfishness is not how to go through life.

Not everyone knows where people are located to find the lakes anyone is talking about. You guys need to think about others more. Just saying.
Forget it. If I see a post from you without a lake name I will not read it. If I keep seeing them I will ignore you completely. No help to me or others. No worries.
Don't bash me becasue i give feedback to help others. I am merely pointing out that other people do not think or know what you do and you need to remember that.

Maybe he shouldn't post at all like most the folks fhat can rip lips on this forum. Folks get but hurt if you tell too much same as if you tell too little. For the poster there's no real reason to say you had a good day. Nothing good can come of it for you sadly. Martin had put more work in on this lake than anybody I know and it shows. Even if you need a tetanus shot to board his rig!!!

Sounds like a buncha Hillary supporters whining about a good fishing report to me crying life's not fair.

Wow..that is all.

I must've clicked on the bass fishing section by mistake. Crappie anglers usually don't act like this. Thank you for the report. The same pattern is being used on several unnamed lakes in my vicinity as well. It's crazy how often the patterns remain the same on an entire body of water or even another lake 70 miles away.

Someday we gotta meet. Not only can you fish (World Champeen Cat), I bet a man would laugh all day while fishing with you. That boy is going to have that same gift.

This thread makes me sad.

Actually Brandon and Kyle do most all the work. I probably should let them do the posting.

So true , damned if you damned if you dont!

The 155 bridge is on fire. Lake Palestine

You finally through all the hate mail you got from the last time you posted that???

bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump

I have not fished 155 in years , but I can still hear the traffic,

MO

Kyle , not enough intel .. need color , depth , time of day and which piling

MO

Yea that bridge gives me a headache. I'm just happy they haven't figured out how good the rest of the lake is.

Nice job and report Martin! I haven't been out in awhile. Between work and chasing fur I haven't had time. Almost done with the fur though. 1 buck tag left then its back to the lake!

Bobby,trust me on this one.Lil man is giving dad a run for his money right now....I've seen him work up close and personal.

Good Lord help us all
