It is the second cove to the east heading south from Pecan Creek Launch. I don't know if you could walk in from there? A person would have to search it out by foot? If you do, a little ways in the cove right to the inside of the point is a Corp Brush pile. Check it out on a topo map. Hope that helps.

Sounds good. I dont mind a little walking. One last question. Since we will be camping, ff we cactch fish on thursday or friday, can we clean them and keep them in the cooler until saturday when we head home? Or will the spoil?

If it were me, I'd catch some clean and eat thurs. and Fri. Catch a bunch Sat., throw 'em in the cooler Sat. head home, clean 'em and freeze 'em.

Ray Bob has been producing well for me in four to six feet of water. This pattern has been fairly consistent for the last three days. I have had better luck near large stumps with small cedars very close nearby.
Good luck.

Sounds good all. Think Fire Fisher and I are thinking of heading out next Monday, though it'll be warmer than a campfire by then (not that it isn't now). Good discussion by all.

Went to RR yesterday,and stuck mostly to corp.brush piles,I am fishing a tourny up there at the end of the month and wanted to log a few of those piles in my gps,I caught a lot of crappie but most were 8-9",I talked to a couple of guys who had been back in the river on the elm fork and they had thier limit,nothing bigger then 11" on the brush piles and no fat females so the shallow water and creeks are where they are now.

Skeet do you fish the west or east side of RR?

dice try here:

Cates Point - If you can find this point there is an old TPWD campground there. You can walk it with no problem. The west side of the point is all rock, gravel, clay shoreline. The cove has good timber.

I was out driving one day and just followed the roads I got off yahoo maps. It is off I-35 north of Sanger. Take 3002 east to 3442 and go south. The road will eventually dead into the old campground.

Great spot that not too many people know about. Excellent spot to see some wildlife and fish the shoreline.

Slow I was on the east side most of the day around wolf creek and johnson branch,but the best brush pile I got on was over in the elm fork,I plan on going on up the river next week and see how it is before fishing for real on saturday,after that I am going back to the vine.

I caught ten nice keepers yesterday evening before dark. Looked like it was going to be a great night. Things went sour when my crappie lights wouldn't work at dark. I guess they are Bass Pro shops disposable fishing lights....
oh well. They were still in shallow (4 to 6 ft.)

Yesterday's wind made jig fishing tough, but still managed to come home with a mess. I caught all my fish in 10 foot or less, but spoke with a guy at the ramp that has been catching crappie in 18 ft. right on the bottom.
good luck!

I went out thursday and caught 8 that were pushing 2 1/2 pounds. I was fishing in 9 foot of water in a honey hole of mine and the crappie just coulden't resist my blue and white jig. I will post a pic of my catch soon.

Some of the crappie I got Thurs. on Ray Roberts

Dont know what happend to the pic I will try again
