View the original post for an UPDATE.

I'll be there tomorrow checking on my spots. Can't wait to get into some good crappie.

Brian hope you do better than me and jeff,caught tons of fish of brush and docks and bridges and zero good fish. I know this lake has them think they are just waiting on fall before they show up,by the way this lake is full of brush found 20 or more piles without a side finder eveywhere from 8-35 feet of water.

We got 17 keepers in 3.5 hours biggest 1.25.

we had twelve pounds but its going to take forteen in the fall at texoma...lol just playing the report sounds pretty much the same for us on saterday had 14 in the boat didnt keep anything under a pound but no big fish hmmm... it will take ten plus pounds though.

I agree, 8-9lbs will be easy to get. Caught all our fish in the water mostly with rod and reel. Occasionally one just jumped in the boat. Saw crappiecat, and also cliff today.

Minnow info posted in opening thread post.

Guess I am in for this one. Promised Brian Spagnola I would be there. Got to go for it. I'll be staying at the Sheppard Annex cabins. See you there. Gonna need your help here buddies.
