Loc: Lake Palestine/Cherokee co
I have not crappie fished in a month. This is usually the time I hit the standing timber north of the horsefarm. With the lake so full , not much is visible.
Went for 3 hrs Sat morning and caught about 20 with 13 keepers. Was tryin out SlabmeSilly jigs and caught all but 1 fish on 3 or 4 variations of chartruse. No real big fish, 11" up to 13". They're not bunched up yet as far as I can tell though limits can be had if you hang in there. All came from 10-12' down. Most caught on the "down-swing". With 12' of line out, I pitched the rig along the column's and let it swing down. Bites came just short of the bottom of the swing. Lost/missed several also. Next time out I'll alternate plastic with hand tied and see how they compare.
