Plenty of good holes out west there around Abilene(45min radius)
Any slabs being found yet?
Thinking of driving west next weekend(terrible weather today)

They are doing well at Phantom Hill and Stamford.

Game Warden report says its pretty quite for that area
Catching hybrids on the Hill and not much else seen on patrol
I still think Im rolling west next weekend
Dont know if yah dont go!

Crappie and bass are hitting good on brownwood 2 to 5 ft just find the shad

We have two yaks rolling west saterday morning
Which lake?
Who else will be out?

Looks like a typical fairly breezy day - south wind up to 17mph or so. If I were taking a yak out to Phantom, I'd go either to Sailboat Slough or the northeast corner near the spillway. It's been weeks since I went, but I caught crappie up in the power plant intake and blue cats straight across the lake from there.
Good luck, be safe.

Fishing Village cove and the one just east off Yaw Rd has always been real good.
They say the lake is pretty full so that will be a sight to see in itself.
Thinking on getting a room and hitting maybe Kirby or Stamford on Sunday.
Need to find a place to stash the boats

Yeah, the east side coves would be a good place to hit, too; you're right. Out of the wind, and if the crappie aren't already spawning, they should be getting close. Dang cold front every week sure doesn't help.

The lake is FULL!! A few weeks ago was the last time I went, and it was 1/3' high and just barely going over the spillway. If you haven't been in a while, it's a different lake!

If you decide to stay overnight and need a place to throw the yaks, you can use my backyard. Text me 936-404-8786. I live on the southwest side of town.

Found an old friend that still lives out there
Boat stash covered.
Thanks for the offer

*&(^*%^&%%$ did we ever get blasted
Fished about an hour and a half and the wind went to 25mph in nothing flat
Day one,one dink and one 2lb ditch pickle
Sitting in the motel since noon drinking craft beer
Waiting for sunrise . . . . . . .

YES!! I do believe in the affects of the full moon on crappie
Next 4 days gonna suck . . . . .

Wow, yeah. I was thinking about you yesterday as I was watching all the trees in town get bent in half. Glad you're ok!

Should be good after dark.

Got BLOWN OUT again this morning
3 fish in two days,is what it is.
Ill be back next weekend, no stranger to Texas spring weather

It's about to get really good. Mid April thr mid May is usually pretty stellar on Phantom. See ya out there.
