    Default to skunked again


    the east side boat ramp is the best access for fishing sangchris . there is a bait shop 1/2 mile north of it plus there are two campgrounds close ,one right next to boat ramp.lake has lots of bass from 10" up to 6# have caught crappie up to 3# this year .try 8' to 14' deep brush piles and any brush on drop offs.if water is in 50 or 60 degrees try shallow brush.big crappie are some times hard to find.For crappie use white marabou jigs or chartruse tube jigs1/8 oz. keep drag set right because you may hook into a big flathead or stripper.Can also catch crappie and bass trolling crankbaits, but for me not a fun way to fish.

    I'm taking the boat there one day next week, watching the weather right now. Gonna "prefish" it, and idle around with the graphs, (which I'm still learning) see what I find. Monday, Tuesday , or Wednesday?
    I put the coordinates for the brush piles in my phone, are any of them still there? Have they been moved?

    haven't been to sangchris lately ,im sure the water is very hot. for crappie I would start on deep brush 10 to 20 feet and sharp drop offs with brush .keep moving until you find their depth .For bass fish laydowns and points from 2' to 20' with crank baits.

    Went today, 77° at west ramp, plant not running. Lake level appeared to be normal.
    Lost a nice crappie, was on the bottom, about 15-20 fow. Where you said. Couldn't get anymore though. Caught a 2.5# bass, on a 2.5 series crank. Also over 20 fow.
    Clarity - 1.5-2'.
