Fished Fork today with my Taxidermist and his son. I love trading deer mounts for Crappie fishing trips!
We started at 7:00 am hitting some timber up north in 15-17’ water. After my best two trees only produced one keeper I knew we had to make a move. Moved further south into 19-22’ water and found more and better fish. By 10:30 we had 27 keepers and several were 1.50-1.80#. Most were 14-15’ deep and would hammer it as soon as you got it there! I knew where there are some laydowns in 18-20’ water and I had a feeling they would be loaded with Black Crappie so we made a move and was I ever right! By noon we had a 50 fish lkmit and threw back another 15-20 keepers. White/Chart Crappie Thunders were the ticket.
Beautiful day to be out on Fork. Have a couple driving up from Springtown to get a taste of Fork tomorrow then off to Hugo to fish Wally’s Crappie tournament Saturday.
Fork is fishing great as well as Lavon. Had limits this week there fishing 5-20’ water.
Check out my facebook for latest pictures and if you want to learn how to fish timber I am your man. I promise it’s not your daddy’s tying up to a tree style. We get after them and dial in the depth, the type of timber and you will catch better quality fish on timber over any other type of Crappie fishing.

Someone needs to take Jerry up on his offer. Catching multiple two pound fish in an outing is not easy to come by, and the chance to learn from one of the best is priceless.

 seeing some 2 pounders on a certified bologna scale would really turn me on fella. lol
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

sheesh, I guess you cant joke with anyone on this forum anymore, who the hell accused you of lying anyway? If you have an attitude like that, to jump to conclusions of negativity, I sure would not want to hire you for a day of fishing..... has anyone ever fished with you twice?

Daylight is just now getting long enough, 12 to 18 feet deep in 25 FOW+! Spawning deep. well at least your smart enough to listen to my advice and teachings.. next year you wont be catching dinks of the bank like you have been doing all your life, you will be catching the slabs, the mature fish that most others arent targeting. years from now you can tell your grandkids, how you learned from me, and you inspired to be like me. if you see me on the water I would be happy to sign your snoopy tackle box for you.  Thick! Son! Thick! Bingo!
