"actually quit my job to fish every single day in march"

I know I've been tempted LOL. That's pretty hardcore though.

true story...wish it woulda turned out better lol...if wife hadnt just landed her first job as an RN..it'd been tougher decision!

I'm hoping to get into them shallow. Always say ill get out there, but miss it everytime.

I'm already at use or lose leave for 2013

What lake were you fishing?

Never fished there, but I was fishing at Richland Chambers last year and a guy came up to visit about fishing success. He shared that on Halbert in Feb you can drive to the end of the damn by the overflow concrete structure and can just wear them out from the bank...FYI

38 feet today on Fork

If we keep getting these 70 plus degree days and the nights don't get too cold, I'll be in my float tube in mid Feb. I like to start on the smaller stained lakes or the back ends of the larger lakes and look for fish all the way to the dam end on into May. Growing up back in Mississippi, the dogwoods blooming would, it seemed like, have every person big enough to hold a cane pole on the banks.

Tundra Rich and All,

First, I'm glad to be on with so many knowledgeable Crappie hunting folks. I may have to quit my job also to make sure I don't miss the spawn. I'm hearing the spawn may be in mid-Feb(a few weeks away) or maybe it's in March, and having just moved back to the Dallas area from Georgia, I just don't know. The folks around Ray Hubbard are stating they are catching bigger ones in shallower waters now (4-5 deep) as appose to a few weeks ago. I predict the 1st week of March will be wild!!!!

Still around 22 feet here..

Halbert is a great crappie lake. I have caught loads over on the railroad bridge.

white perch hunter welcome to the forum brother! So glad you found us!

what a haul.

Well, i guess I will just have to try it and see...what size boat is optimum for that lake?

nuff said, awesome. Love Fork
