headed in from Colorado

[SlabTech]

Looks like I will be back in Missouri for work this week. Since I moved to Colorado, I haven't done much Crappie fishing. I will be going to Stockton tomorrow and this weekend! Any advice for an out of practice crappie fisherman?

I can tell you couple weeks ago they the crappie was on brush in 12 to 18 ft of water and in some of the bluffs have been producing, have a friend that fishes it quite often and he has been catching them up the big sac,turnback arm of the lake on the bluffs,,,,,,,,,,luck to ya

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen. Even if I only catch one.. it will be worth the trip. And a lot better than working!

the lake is up 3 feet, just right for some brush pile fishing.

Went fishing for a while today. Didn't do too well... 1 cat, 1 drum, 1 keeper crappie and 1 blue gill. Guess I'm out of practice. Hope we sack em this weekend!

you will, try birch branch, just out side the trees, right side as you go in, work your way towards the middle if you do no good on the right side, work slow, then slower, minnows are working and so is chartruse jigs, most any brand, I prefer slabbuster silver/chartruse, or mid south glow chartruse, or mikes custom jig in chartruse/and good luck
