Me and a couple of buddies spent the better part of last month's weekends killing Crappie in the coves of the Leon River above Belton Lake. Our last couple of trips have been terrible. Are they off the spawn now? We mainly went with minnows on a bobber and fished tight around cover. Anyone know what is up with fish and have some techniques that are working now?

Welcome aboard Wish.
I'd only be guessing about Belton because I've only been on it once, and that was about 30 years ago, but I think the spawn is done around here. I'd start looking for structure in about 5-15 feet of water or thereabouts. They should be headed that way.

Either you guys hate newbies or you are as stumped as I am. Thanks anyway. contrary to what out wives think , most of us do not spend all day on the computer.  sometimes it takes more than 80 minutes to get answers. I am guessing what you do not want to hear is that you are going to have to wait untill next spring. Having a boat doesn't guarantee fish , however, sometimes the 3@$@$@ things just won't bite. good luck Mo

I don't have a boat but between two of my buddies, there are three.
