Thread: evergreen lake

wind , rain, sleet, caught roughly fifty crappie , mostly short ones, out of three of us we kept twelve, 9.50 to 10.00 inch, not like the boys down south but had a good time, i need to get hooked up with crappie x down there at rend and get some tips on how to catch those crappie, i used a 2inch twister on a 1/16jig with a pinch of nightcrawler, had minnows but they seemed to like worms. fished mostly the east end,fished mostly wind blown points and brush, not much of a report but it is the best i can do today.

nice catch buck...east end you mean across from the beach area? man the size has really fallen off..my brotehr is a regular there and i think we have taken all the bigguns out of there...

If you had weather like we had weather, (which it sounds like you did) then my hats off to ya for stickin it out. We hunted ducks today, (first day of youth season here) and it was windy and rainy,no sleat. Anyway, glad you caught some fish, havn't seen too many catch big crappie like CX.

There are quite a few guys that get quality fish on a regular basis.The past 2 days i've been out with my son and limited twice,and had 8 out of 20 fish that were 12 inches plus.1 went 13 1/8.I'm just not one to post much.All from the bank in 9 foot of water.My boy had 13 keepers in 2 days with 2 12 inches plus and 5 that were 11 to 11 3/4.Ya don't have to be an expert,just be in the right place at the right time.That's usually the case 99% of the time.Caught all of em on a 1/48oz jig/tube.That was in lake decatur.Good ol fashioned bank fishin,no gps,or other AID,just walkin rocks and such,workin hard,snaggin up,and catching fish.Nothin better....
