i wouldnt think that . remember the water still hasnt cooled off just yet . i bet they are just not biting as good in the day as at dusk

Well guys, I went, a bit further upstream of the bridge, and I FOUND LOTS OF FISH!

Problem is, they WERE NOT CRAPPIE. They WERE NOT YELLOW BASS.

They were sandies!

I caught about 20 between 3:30 and 5, just chunking into current, letting it sink to bottom, and reeling it back REAL, REAL SLOW!

They hit my TriColor WhataJig, on a 1/16th oz UNPAINTED JIG HEAD.

The color combo-- red head, green body, chartreuse tail.

Of the 20 caught, about 6 were no questions asked keepers, and the others were all between 7 and 9 inches each.





Weather NOT THAT BAD. The trees blocked what little wind there was, and the sun felt quite good.

Addendum: Talked to two guys who said the "big" crappie had been hitting well on ji/lighted bobber right at and just after sunset.

about 3 years ago there were a bunch of big sandies up the creek. used chartreuse roostertails. one year i caught em every cast but were small. see yawl out there soon

one year mike and i caught some huge sandies in mid november and none of them were throw backs . but as the season progressed they got smaller . i will never be able to figure this body of water

it is very weird at times..... see yall in the AM

got in the water at 6am..... only pulled 8 crappie out of the drink. 5 were keepers, all are still swimming. didnt keep count of all the sandies i caught. they are super thick almost everywhere i went in the creek...... i was to cold to pull the camera out to take a pic of the graph and all the sandies, but ill take a pic tomorrow if i go. couple pics from today and a couple days ago below...

-Couple keepers-

-Adam loves these-

-White Rock Creek Slab-

air pressure was high this morning. its dropping rapidly at the moment.... the bite should pick up this afternoon...

want be long now...the water looks great!

Just need for all other factors to fall into place

I'm tying up some Crappie Candy flies on unpainted jig heads. Hopefully I'll get to field test them today.

Thanks for posting that pic of my "trophy" yellow bass Carey ...I couldnt catch a crappie if it jumped in the fish cat yesterday morning...sandies and small yellows on the other hand

I think I'm hittin it up in the morning... Any suggestions of what I use to catch crappie.. Never fished for them and want to try it out... Thanks for any info

Is that the bait you are holding up???

haha shut up Derek!

I put Adam right on top of the crappie, but he was to slow on the sets and i guess he just wanted to practice catching yellows and small sandies on this trip. another reason he didnt catch a crappie all day was because he still has my sandals for ransom.i would like them back.....
