Fished Wheeler this morning
and it gave up no fish. It was the first time I have ever fished for crappie at Wheeler. We have our next tournament there in August and I wanted to learn a little bit about the lake. I found some outstanding brushpiles at 18' on the drops that I just new I would catch a fish on, but not today. I caught 2 catfish, a small bass, and snagged a bream when I trolled crankbaits for about 30 minutes. I fished second creek from the state park all the way to the main lake. Then rode over to first creek and fished around the bridge and the drops on the other side to no avail. Found some great stuff, if only some fish were on them. It will help me in March though, I am sure. The fish should be stacked on these spots on pre and post spawn.
It is very possible only a hand full of fish will be brought to the scales in the tournament in August. I just hope some of those fish are mine!!!!
