I put some bamboo on the 2nd pillion on the walking path Sunday.. Wednesday I saw a blue kayak on it, was that you TarponFly???? and where in the creek did you get those crappie??

fished the pylons, and got dink. Towards the dog park, on that side, I think there was a snag there. but nothing near the jogging trail side pylon. lots of dinks, but they are def shallower now. Im in one man pontoon boats. fished the creek and had better luck there.

This is what I guide out of. Gets into skinny water and places the banker cant get to. Glieds through 2 inches of water

Hey Carey!!
Those are some hefty lookin crappie were you useing jigs or minnows??

Fishbonz

And what was the weight of that "new" record crappie at WR.?? P.S. I may be booking a guide date with you soon..

-Jigs



-WRC. 1.32 lbs/ 13 inches/ 10.25 inch girth ( not a big one, but its an easy record to be broken. The 15-16 inchers will show up soon.....) That makes 13 records this year, just 7 more to go.

TPWD shows 2.04 is the record at Whiterock lake ??? is the creek record any different from the lake??? my son got a 2.25lb crappie during a cash fish bass tournament but we did not know it would have been a record, so we ate it.....I'm looking for a 2.04 or better right now......

Hey Carey, have you tried rowlett creek yet?

Its a creek record. Not a lake record. Ill get the lake record in March.

I have yet to hit Rowlett Creek. In two weeks I will have time to start scouting the creek. Right now Im at White Rock most of the time.

K. Please update when you o hit it. Know you will.

Carey, one more question. Would this be a good one to go with or is there something you see wrong with it? http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2114062&cp=2367438.2367826.2672651

not a durable as a colordo or fish cat, but it will def do what is needed.

About when does the crappie fishing in the creek heat up? My girl and I were out there today for the first time ever. We seen the dog park and the walking bridge and there was a lady renting kayaks and canoes. We parked there by her and walked down the trail a little bit. Weeds are still high and I was in flip flops and did not want to get snake bit, so we turned back. The creek is pretty wide at this point. How far back do you guys walk back or is there a better access point?

I know exactly where you are talking about. I fish under that bridge sometimes with a Chrt. Road Runner. I was wandering the same question, Maybe I can beg my mom to let me go back there.

its 8 ft right next to the kayak rental. The fish will eventually make thier run right through there. We still have a solid month till they start showing up in "LIMITABLE" numbers. I have only pulled 3 out of that area this year. Most of the Crappie are still in the lake somewhere..... Where in the lake, no one knows....

Cool. Do you find yourself walking very far up the creek. I seen the same creek all the way up from Northwest Hwy and it's much smaller at that point so it runs a pretty good ways. Is that parking lot there by the kayak rental the best place to park?
