smithville 5/13

[lando659]

went up to sailboat cove today. got there and wouldnt you know it, someone was on my favorite dock. (for those who missed my first post, dont have a boat, have to rely on my legs and long casts) only caught 3 today, didnt seem to be biting. took my wifes cousin out with me and he caught his first crappie. which happened to kick the crap out of mine. he caught a nice 13 incher compared to my 10. i tried panfish assassins and caught a couple shorts. my buddy caught his on minnows. i caught that 10 on a chart panfish assassin. still getting used to this crappie fishing thing. i like to use jigs but i dont have a whole lot. if anyone has any advice, shoot me a message or reply. going out again tomorrow. probably sailboat cove again. havent found anywhere else yet. any suggestions for places or tactics please let me know. i'll check this again before i leave.

i have never fished smithville either but what i do some times when they are very aggressive is i like to start off with a charlie brewer slider grub,,,when casting along a bank,,,white,chartreuse,or a chartreuse with a red tail work-es for me,,u just never know what will hit these,,also there is a lure called a strol-er made by bobby garland lures that has promise also,,,good luck
