Got into a few hogs today

Water temp- 48 degrees/overcast and raining
Jig- Slab Bandit blue ice
Depth- 19ft.
Pattern- ambushing schools of shad

Went to Naconiche this morning to brave the rain and cold. Fished for trash fish for most of the time, then got bored and found some really nice crappie!

This female was not even 14", but weighed 1lb 14oz. She was about to explode with eggs.







Caught seven keepers in about 30 minutes. Had to give them away because I got a call from my wife saying her back had gone out, so I had to get home.

Nice fish...

Cool...
Purdy fish fer sure...
Back problems are no fun...

Nice work.

Nice ones

I hope your wife's back problem is short term.

Bad backs can take you out of action for months at a time and even longer if surgery is required.

Nice catches.

Nice crappie Jacob. I haven't been, wife has been in hospital with her back. I'm ready to go after them!

1st wife or 2nd?

I`m with EZ & S killa all the way Jacob a back is serious business & I hope she`s up and about very soon.WTG on that she Crappie! Looks like she`s about to DOMINO.

Nice report!

Nice Slabs!

My one and only!

Surely some beautiful color on those East Texas fish!!! I absolutely love that yellowish hue!!

They're the meanest fish I've ever caught too. They originally stocked 300 adult crappie in this lake. That was about 3 years ago. It's is LOADED with crappie now, and 90% have that black stripe down their nose. These fish have grown very very fast and are very aggressive. The only problem is narrowing down all the structure.

Jacob, you mean Nacogdoches don't you. Ain't no crappie in Naconiche, the dam broke and lake went dry, the bass eat em all up. Worse crappie lake in the entire south. You didn't see my old buddy out there did ya? He parked his Raycraft and bought a Ranger 520.

Lol you're right...wrong lake...nothing to see here!

Nope. Didn't see him today. I had the lake to myself til 10:00. Then a couple aluminum boats came and joined.

That must be some clear water! Pretty fish!!

Nice fish I hope your wifes back gets better

Awesome report Jacob!

praying for a healing for your wife.nice catch while braving the cold and rain.

Nice catch! Hope the wife gets better soon!
