People are catching crappie up the north bosque at the two bridges. Most that I have seen are on the small side. If you don't mind the boat show and crowded areas then that is your spot.

I use a kayak so I tend to try to get way from large numbers of pb's. Just safer that way. I am going to be camping at Airport for the first part of sping break week after next. Planned to do some jugging and chasing crappie and whites if possible.

I have looked on the web but have had no luck. The best I have ever seen was an old USGS map from befor the lake was built and you could see the contours. That map was in a geology class at MCC 15 years ago.

I caught a few last friday at the back of speegleville creek. There is just so much water that can be holding crappie it is hard to find them. I caught all males so maybe this weekend there will be more back in the creeks.

For all you guys looking for Lake waco Topo maps there is only one place I know of that has them. It is called Rapid printing in Robinson, Texas. google them and get the number. I will warn you they are very hard to get in touch with.

JigPullinBrad,
What kind of fishfinder/gps do you have? If it's a Lowrance or FishMark unit, you could use the free enhanced lake map of Waco.

Clyde I only have a Lowrance 510C and a Eagle Mark 480(neither have gps). I use a hand held gps so I can bring it with me if I fish with others. Next time I uprade boats which hopefully soon, I will go with color gps system. Do you have a mapping system w/Waco on it? Brad

Brad, I have the Lowrance enhanced free lake map of Waco installed on FishMark Elite 480. So I've seen (have) a map of the lake with contours on it.
