Checked shallow and 16-20 fow yesterday with no bites. Found them 10-12 FOW around bridge. Caught around 50 little ones to keep 10, but they were good ones. All had eggs, but where not full, dull colored and mushy. I'm thinking they are absorbing them?

I have seen eggs in all stages from the shallows on tawakoni this week. It is a strange spawn this year for sure.


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

That seemed to happen a lot on my annual Lake of the Ozarks trips in the 90s, but Id mostly forgotten about it because here in Texas, I catch crappie year-round.

If you agree that it does happen, have you discovered ways to wake em up?


I dont know what to say, other than maybe I have a Golden horseshoe in my pocket...every where I have fished for the last two months has been good, well except for the creeks on Navarro Mills...no water in them to speak of.
