Very nice. Good thing we booked a trip. I dont want to miss out the action.

good thick healthy fish!

6:17 am left ramp.
7:11 am limit.



So much for a 4-6 mph wind. Picked up to 15-18 mph out of the north.

Used pink/chart Thump Buddies. If the crappie are there, it doesn't matter what u put down there color wise. Minnows not needed. I sent one down on a stump and no bite. Sent jig down and got slammed. Minnows suck right now. Tires, piles, rocks. Everything produced today. Deepest I fished was 18 on a submerged road bed. Fish were scattered around on the concrete flat part and not on the rocky sides. But they were not spawning. No bait around. Just hanging out. Tried fishing with two poles, but as soon as it got to 17 1/2 ft we got wacked.

I went looking for the Sandbass school, and they r still hiding somewhere.

Round 2 in a couple hours.

Wow! That's fast!

Wind didn't die down till 30 mins before dark. My client took the afternoon off from work,'so we went out anyways. Tough battling waves sometimes. Put a major current in the timber and fish just didn't want to eat. Weatherman was way wrong today. Suppose to be 4 mph all day.

West wind tomorrow. Should be really good.

Tires, timber and brush 16 ft or shallower. Even got one in 1 ft. Not many spawning males today. So I'm sure the wind and front pushed them back a bit. Black and chart thump buddy's was the color of the day. White and chart worked better in the am.

Same thing. Different day.








On the tailgate, those fish in the back are 11 and 12 inchers. The rest of the fish were 14 to 16 inches on average to put it into perspective

any catfish seen on sonar or side scan or caught

Very nice, your on a good pattern for sure, Lavon sucked for me today, caught about 20 but last weekend we limited Saturday and Sunday fishing for only about 3-4 hours. The fish I had been on did not want to play today. I did try some new areas and new stuff today but never found the jackpot I was looking for, one fish here and there. I might have actually seen you today also.
Care to share your depth today?

Hey Carey, which boat ramp is good to launch at Lavon? Thanks.

Slower on the PM trip. North wind kicked up a bit. Suppose to be out of the west. Still got them though. 3-17 ft was main focus. Fish still spawning. Females starting to empty of eggs and not super fat anymore.

That is one very large black species crappie on the front row, could be the lake record.

That lake record is going to be on my dinner plate! Thanks Carey for working so hard today. What Carey did not post was this was the first time I have fished for crappie. Carey is an exceptional guide and not only puts you on fish but shares his knowledge.

Had some wires cross this morning frying some electrical. Irritating. So no report for the AM. Took 6 hours to re wire with the help of BaffinBay.

Hit the water at 4 ish to make sure everything was back to normal and fished for 2 hours and wacked 80-100 crappie. We were going to try and keep 13- 14 inchers for a cool picture and threw 10-12' back in, but an east wind picked up and I was to beat to battle the wind and trolling motor. So we left early with plenty for my buddy to take home. Couple 16's in there. 4-8 ft of water. 8 lb mono

Thump Buddy's plastic jigs

Glue them to a jig head with Quick-Lock glue and hold on!

If you have emailed me or left a message I'll be responding after 12 pm tomorrow. This is when I get home at night from the lake, so it's to late to call y'all.

Nice seeing a lot of y'all today!

Those giant slabs were supposed to be my catches.
Lol

Could someone pm me a good spot to fish on the bank? It doesn't have to be a hidden spot, just where a lot of people are catching. Boaters probably have a good view of where bankers are at. Been going to Lavon 5 times with minnows and only caught one crappie. Would appreciate some help. Thought about giving up but I can never give up on fishing
