Went to Proctor this morning and this is what I got into. Stopped fishing at 10am and ended with 20 keepers.

How did you find them, and then how did you get them to bite?
I went out all day today and never got as mush as a sniff.

It was a nice morning bite wise, started out using a chart jig head with a crème shad in black/red with chart tail and then switched to bobby garland blue ice around 8:30 and then lost count of how many where in the bucket.

The deepest water on Proctor right now is 18 feet. In the evenings we have been doing alright in 6-7 foot of water.

I sure wish we could get some rain, I like fishing the spillway this time of year. The crappie seam to hit the bait a lot harder that any other places I fish.

Yes they did have eggs sacks in them, have caught several at Proctor and Leon with egg sacks already. Looks like we may have a early spawn this year. And yes Stucky Proctor is over 7 feet low right now.

Jesse one spot is at La Mancha lake ranch on Lake Leon. that is a $5 charge to fish from the dock. If you have Bobby Garland Monkey Milk, Blue Ice and Black/chart jigs will get you started and use 1/32 oz jig heads. And I sent you a PM for acouple secret spot right now that are hot.

there are several docks to fish from on Proctor, two in sowell creek park, 2 in copperas cove and then the dam, all producing fish to my understanding. Was told leon was a off and on!
