    Default Poverty Point


    Made one of my annual trips to the Point this past weekend. Fishing was good. My nephew caught his biggest crappie ever and brother Chris was a first timer to the lake. Crappie fishing was good. No giants as in the past few years but good quality fish for certain. To my surprise, i learned that they had stocked hybrid stripers in the lake a few years ago. Why would they introduce another fish to compete with crappie is beyond me. If anyone has that information, please let me know. We had a great time catching over 70 hybrids and that many crappie over 3 days. it is always catch and release for me when i go there, although we did keep a few stripers to fry. Heading up again this month to look for the big one. Although to us marsh guys any 2lb plus crappie is a big one lol.

    Hi bobfish, can you give me some details on how and where you caught the hybrids? You've certainly piqued my interest, i want to take my dad to catch a few.

    Hey Bob.....as always a wonderful report which gives the us folks down south some confidence in spider rigging...long lining and other techniques that are not routinely used in the south...Thanks for the report!!!
