New to crappie fishin' and hear that lake granger is a good place for crappie. Anyone ever fished there and know any good jigs or bait that they hit there?

I'm guessing no one has fished there befor. So ill try some jigs/lures and live bait. Ill let ya guys know how it goes this weekend an post pics if we get any good ones.

Gotta give it a little more time, I am sure someone from down there will chime in...good guys down there

welcome to the forum! great lake to fish,we fished it last spring w/a guide by the name of tommy tidwell....there are other guides in the area as well,just can't remember his name,everybody probably in bed when u made your post....lol,good luck to u!

Dave beister is the other guide down there, I am sure he will post for you tomorrow

Yeah I didn't notice how late it was. I just looked at the clock, Lol, thanks though for tellin' me about those guys.

Granger is full of crappie. But the best bait varies with the day. Minnows and the old standby chartreuse hair jigs are as good a place as any to start. You can get minnows at the Circleville store. The only ramp open right now is Taylor park.

We are goin to where the san gabriel opens into granger I hear there is a lot of flooded trees. Plus we don't have a boat yet, lol.

I would suggest that you head further upriver right now. The flooded timber you are talking about is real shallow water. Good when the spawn starts but we are not there yet. Night time has the best bite right now. Not many fish being caught during the day. Check the map on this site for access to river fishing spots from the bank.

Another website you might want to check out.

www.grangergang.com

So what exactly is granger gang?

Just a group of fishermen/women that fish Granger. We have our own website. Lot of good info that gets put out as far as fishing reports, not only crappie, but white bass, catfish and hunting too. We hold fishing tournies as well as volunteer for lake cleanup days. It is a great way to connect with other anglers and hunters in the Granger area. Check it out. All the info I can give you now. Headed to the lake for a night crappie fishing trip.

that's pretty cool. I'm ganna have to go out there one day with ya guys.

If you want to fish from the bank you can go to the slough area in wiillis creek park, fish with minnors or a white jig yellow head, Good luck!

Is there any water in the slough area?

It did silt in a little , but the back of the slough has water, small boat can get up in there, are in Willis creek,

Thanks, may have to check that area out pretty soon.
