Ernest: There's not going to be many small shad this time of year. Been a long time since a spawn. Crappie gotta eat something.

I think you missed the boat today. A video of you crappie fishing on Lake Lewisville in these snow flurries would have been a classic.

Any fishing I do in snow will be in the marina under cover. In the past maybe I would but not anymore.

Going in the morning. See how long I can stand it.

I would be out there if it wasn't for the 20 mph North wind. I've has some tremendous catches in the snow in past years.

I chickened out today. Maybe tomorrow.

Me too! Got the grandkids today!

Hats off to you Ernest for just thinking about it. I moaned about having to just go to a wedding today in a monkey suit and freezing.

Well it warmed up a little bit this afternoon so I just had to go.



Only caught a few but they were nice ones. This wasn't the biggest, just the first.

Going again early tomorrow.

We have been catching crappie all winter with an ounce and a half white/silver slab from rsr.

Ive caught crappie on 5in flukes while striper fishing and the crappie im cleaning had 4-5in shad in their bellies.

Yep...the wierd thing is , is when a 50lb. flathead takes your 1/16th oz. jig....what's up with that?

Today was pretty cold but electric heater did the trick. Stayed about two hours and landed 11 nice keepers. Guy, Rick and Pat were doing about the same. (But I had the heater)

Monday: Another good early bite. Left at 9 to get a haircut.

It's still working. I rarely fish with anything smaller than 2.5" now. May have to change when the shad fry start to schooling around the cover.

When casting the shore for scattered spawner's I was using 1/16 oz road runners. Changed to 1/4 oz and caught more fish and they handle the wind better.
