which part of the Brazos were you on? Whitney? PK? Granbury?

people said they have been on the bottom but just wont bite in that area. I don't fish that area, but i was there on Sunday and i was asking boaters as they loaded back on the trailer. I was bank fishing the Nolan river where everyone goes and we have been catching whites and crappie. I would only catch the whites with all chrome rooster tail and a slow retrieve. Whites are the easiest to catch but the crappie are not biting aggressively.
While i was there a guy said he caught 20 crappie back a week ago but he was there for hours until finally he started catching. When i was there on Sunday he caught 4. I would try Nolan and watch you electronics if you have them. I know some good spots on PK if you ever go.

I love the Brazos, I always see deer, pigs or turkeys. The Crappie fishing is hot when they’re on but terrible when they aren’t biting. I’ve been to Painted Rock at times with 15-20 boats and EVERYONE limit out and I’ve been there with 15-20 boats and EVERYONE gets skunked.

Any day is a good day one the water. Some just better than others!



Side Note: A bad day makes a good day seem a whole lot better!

If the shoe fits, wear it. Why dont you 2 post your you tube channels so we can subscribe?

I went out there about a month ago and caught 1 tiny crappie and a couple drums. Did not mark any crappie. It's a beautiful area for sure.

yeah, it is beautiful. and I saw wild pigs, I enjoyed the day, Bassman 78 brought a rattle trap to throw as well. he had it hung up in everything in and around the boat..multiple times. funny stuff
I had one and never hung it up

So, I caught more than you

And just a little tease to keep your hopes up LOL This was a few my daughter caught in our slip a few years ago when we had it at Juniper Cove . And lasy year some we caught at our slip in Harbor Mast with a couple of our friends . Have a good weekend and I am going down today for the weekend and will let you all know if they are in our slip yet .

Fishing Whitney this year has just been weird to say the least . After the last flood it has gone down hill fast . We have our lake house there and been fishing Whitney for well over 12 years . It has nothing to do with guides and the internet . We live near Juniper Cove and yes the crappie are doing just fine in our neighbors slip . We have a slip at Harbor Master and NOTHING all year ! It has always produced for us really good as we always bait our slip out with bamboo every year . For some reason all the crappie have been on the north end of the lake this year . And the lake has not gotten cold enough for the winter bite . I have a fiend who fishes the Brazos by the bridge and 2 weeks ago the crappie were hot . He brought them by the house and showed them to me . Just chill , they will come back this spring !

Also can confirm. I was used to catching 25 of these most every trip sans a day after a cold front in the upper part. Went yesterday .... had 10 keepers but released all. They're just roaming around. Be patient, it'll be fine soon.

I have caught pretty consistently on the river. Dang I didnt know there was a shortage of fish. Ill keep that in mind tomorrow

at the Brazos?

Im going tomorrow. I always find something to catch. BP5168 are you who I think you are? Look at my name.

Be watch-n for The Wild Thing (G3 river 1648 river jon with a tiller Etech). I run that same area of river all the time from the "to shalla to boat" to steele creek. Sometimes have a white lab dog with me if no one else is go-n. Only now I've got pods on the back too.

Will do brother. My job's got me working 5 days a week now. Was on a 9/80. So, don't know when I could get away on a weekday. Just a few more years and I can start double dipping, till I call it quits for good.

Bentman63 say one thing brother , you still live in Oak Cliff you got more b@lls than me LOL I lived there for a long time and met my wife there 45 years ago . Hey I also play , ever get to Whitney give me a shout . We got a nice lake house .
