Short afternoon on NM

When the cowboy score was 3 to 6 I loaded up and headed to NM...
Got there bout 4:45 and caught my limit at 6:50....
One location I caught 2 crappie then moved to another and got 23 there.... Wind was a bit of a problem but slowed down late... Water was 14 ft deep crappie at 12 ft... No hogs but 10 - 12 inch crappie... Few boats on the lake but were moving quite a bit...

Keep pulling em out, good job I need to head down there and catch a few, its not too far from the house

Which lake is NM?

NM = Navarro Mills

I dont think you can get there from Stephenville....

nice job Keith!

Guess not. Nobody here has ever heard it.

Just looked it up on the map. No wonder I have never heard of it.

Dont think you can get here from there....
Well kept secret....

Great Keith,

But what are you doing with all those Crappie.

If you are an everyday Guy - where are those fish going?

C&R works - no fish to clean - and just as much fun,

Just keep what you need and release the rest - DO NOT GIVE FISH AWAY, - Yeah I know that is a new concept - but a good one!

Good rule of thumb - Just keep what you need and release the rest,

Great Day Keith,

Mark:
I have worked my @$$ off building stick condos, boo condos, brush piles and sinking cedar trees so I may better enjoy retirement.

I made a video on “how to build crappie structure” and uploaded it to Youtube with the aim of helping the average crappie hunter be a better fisherman. As of now it has been viewed 12,831 times… So somebody must like it.

I have had quite a few fellow crappie guys call me or PM me on TFF about building structure for crappie. I try my best to help any way I can and answer their questions to the best of my knowledge so they to can better catch crappie.

Yes, I do go crappie fishing more than the average guy. Why? I am retired & live 15 min. from Navarro Mills!

But until Texas Parks & Wildlife tells me to stop doing what I am doing, I will continue trying my best to catch 25 legal crappie every time I go fishing.

What I do with my “legal” crappie is MY BUSINESS.

To sum this up: You paddle your boat and I will paddle mine.

You have a nice day.

Keith

Good post Keith ! congrats on another good day, Phill

Sorry if I upset you Keith.

Great job Keith.

I am heading down on Friday so long as the winds do not pick up over 13 in the forcast. As of right now I am seeing ESE, S winds from 8mph. Do you think this cold front will hurt the fishing any

Not looking for secret spots...I am an avg fisherman and expect to boat 10-15 keepers...just tring to get an idea if i should expect a slow day or decent day with the front. Would like to take my 90yr old grandfather if i think fishing my be decent.
