San Jacinto River's Big Eddy

[Big Dave]

Looks like the Big Eddy is about to get hot. I caught a few nice crappie on a walkin this past Saturday. I'm planning on Taking the boat throught the cut and fishing it this weekend. Have any of you had and sucsess there yet?

[Jigster]

I did not know you could get a boat into the big eddy.Where do you enter??
Where do you live? I live in Crosby on Lake Houston and cant find many people interested in crappie fishing other than during the spawn. I am obesessed with crappie fishing. No I mean I really have a problem. It is just about all I think about.

[Big Dave]

Once you pass the highlines hug the left bank until you see a small cut. It gets pretty shollow when the water is low so trim up and stay in the middle. Last year I caught so many fish there in the winter, I had no room in the freezer for the spawn.

Thanks Big Dave,

Maybe I will see you out there. I may go Friday morning 12/24.
I will be in an 18' G3 center console. Do you jig or minnow fish?

Thanks again

I use Jigs suspended under a slip cork about 7 footdeep this time of year in the Eddy. Crawl them slow cause the crappie get pretty dosil this time of year.

[Jigster]

I see you live in Corroe. Do you fish Lake Conroe much?

[Big Dave]

I have been in conroe about a year. I fished Stublefield Lake last Spring and it was awsume. I still need to learn the Lake. there is a Woman that is a profesional Crappie Guide on the Lake.I've been thinking of booking a trip to help me learn the lake faster.

[Jigster]

Hey, Sticko are they hitting up the east fork. I did pretty well there last year.

the crappie are doing fair in the main channel of the east fork at about the 16 foot depth. and will stage up in the bends and channel till closer to the spawn. also the white bass should be getting in the swing of there up river up creek run for spawn.
