How is it that TPWD can report the crappie fishing @ Granger is very good if noone can get on the lake to fish it.  Fishing Report - It didn't take yall long to figure that one out, I'm impressed. By the way DBman, your pretty close on the location where the picture was taken. You can contact Tommy to claim your prize.  DBman, I'm just kidding about the prize. Come on sharecropper. Thought I was gonna get a free guided trip with Tommy.  
Keep on fishing.

The local guide Tommy Tidwell is fishing the lake and the reports you see is from him. Book a trip with Tommy and put fish in your freezer too!  How is Tommy getting his boat on the lake? I know he ain't launching at the doppler. I'll have to email him. Guess I will have to take the little boat out on one more excursion before I take it to my son-in-law.
Keep on fishing.

OK, Now that yall have determined that the fishing reports are provided by Tommy and that they are legitimate the next big mystery is: Where is Tommy launching, or How did Tommy get his boat on the lake?
Maybe he prefers to keep that a secret.

Well I took a little cruise around the lake and didn't see any trailered boat launching activity. If you had a tractor to pull you out, you could probably launch at doppler, but I wouldn't recommend it! Yep, Yep maybe someone has a secret spot or setup.....

Just because the ramps are closed does not mean that you cannot fish out of a kayak. The worst problems you face is keeping the stringer untangled and your drink cooler in the kayak. Oh by the way if you do launch your kayak from the shore watch out for the snakes they are everywhere and I mean big snakes.

Could you launch at the primitive launch up the river - Box 7, I believe - just up from the narrows?

I would pay $100 dollars to see Tommy guiding out of a kayak for an entire month. He can only use paddles! If you want Tommy to find you, you will need to flash the Batman spot light up into the night air but you will need to modify it first. Make sure your lite shows "$". GM, those little snakes won't kill ya. Unless you shoot your foot again! I told you to wear your specks when you tried to shoot that darn snake. Now is a time to have a small portable boat! Figures, I just sold mine...  Time to inflate the raft... GM are you still up for a trip to the lake in my raft? I will let you use the TM. Um... I mean the bigger paddle...

Now that would be a sight. I would pay $200 to see GuyM and Sabot crappie fishing out of a raft. Sabot where would you mount the side imaging sonar on the raft?
