WHATS THE WORD ON THE FORK CRAPPIE.......HAVENT BEEN IN OVER A MONTH....LAST TRIP HAD SOME DECENT SIZE IN 38' BUT THE NUMBERS WERE DOWN AND WE FISHED THE MAIN POINTS BY THE DAM.....HAVENT SEEN ANY WORD ON THE WEB LATELY AND KNOW SOMEBODY HAS BEEN.....

Get the net, I went 2 week-ends ago on a windy Sat. Got up in Big Caney to avoid the white caps and ended up with 19 fish by myself but only six of the fish were of any considerable size. If it wasn't so windy maybe could have faired better on the size. But who knows. That was the first time fishing that area.

Get The Net,
From the lack of responses, they're either bitin REAL good or REAL bad, huh? Guess we'll just have to go and find out for ourselves.

Ken, if you would quit traveling the world and buying new boats, you would be catching them with me this saturday...guess I will pick up a hitch hiker on the way who knows how to count my crappie...

Get the net, Why go to Fork? Me and my bro. went to Lk. Tyler this past Saturday. we started fishing around 7:30 and were heading back to the ramp at 10:00 with 50 nice crappie. 44 the weekend before that. Some were 13-14" long.

Can you provide any details as to your success at lake Tyler. I am going to try getting out this weekend--Sunday.

If you are wanting info. for Lk. Tyler, the crappie fishing is good on the Lk. Tyler East by the dam. Fishing right on the bottom in 30'.

I have been to tyler too before and seen them stacked up on the bottom and they are relatively easy to catch...it seems the size is always smaller on the average than what we catch on Fork. I would love to catch that same quality at tyler as could be on the water in 30 minutes vs 1 hour.........fork seems to average 11" and up where tyler seems to be 8" and up.....have the bigger crappie started biting, as I havent been on tyler in 1 month and at that time everyone was catching crappie and throwing alot back.....didnt see a single crappie caught that looked big out of the 25 boats fishing 100 yard circle in front of the dam....please respond as would like to know average size at tyler...

After we had 50 we had probably thrown back maybe 10-15 small ones. I had some over 13" long but some were also 10-11 inches long. There were definitely some bigger fish biting. I had bought 4 dz. minnows and when we got our 50 I gave 2 dz. away. They probably would have hit a bare hook the way they were biting. The weather in the morning is going to be about the same as last Sat. so I have thought about trying my luck again.

if it is not raining and 35 degrees we will be there at tyler in a dark charger w/yamaha...hope you stick some monsters for the old skillet.......have you ever fished the old lake for crappie as I always see everyone at the dam on the new lake??????seems you should be able to catch them on old lake around langley island deep water area....or the dam.......

Well GTN, Any luck? You did get out this morning didn't you?

lcb75701,
No...Get-the-net didn't make it this morning cause we were goin in my boat (ha)...We are gonna try them Sunday afternoon though. Will give you a report.

Hey lcb75701,
GTN and I made it to Tyler yesterday afternoon and tried the crappie...fished about 4 hours, caught about 30, kept 19. Most were less than 10" long with the exception of about 5 nicer ones...they fit the "classic Tyler **** " GTN posted earlier.
Not complaining, but have caught more and better crappie at times. They sure were good eating last night though!
