Did any color pruce best for you? Which lake out of Sardis, Grenada and Enid is producing more keeper fish this summer? Thanks.
Pulled cranks this morning. Put in at Teckville and went east pulling thru pockets and clearing in the timber 14' - 16' of water. I caught I bet ya 60 short fish with only three keepers, plus 8 or 10 white bass. Dropped lines at 7:02 first fish on at 7:06 and it didn't stop until 10:45 when I hightailed and ran away from them shorties. I took my jig pole intending to jig tall timber, but shorts wore me out so bad I was back at the ramp at 11:15. I was solo today pulling 4 poles and buddy I'm beat

Bandit 300 spring craw yellow this morning, glad I only had the one. Everytime I put it back out it was bam...and Butla gave me my best ratios this year pulling cranks, but if I had to guess if you want keepers go to Nader.. Butla is a harsh and cruel mistress, but I love her so. And Enid & Sardis can be good, if you find the big fish. I just didn't locate them this morning and was to darn busy reeling them in and tossing back to think right...

Congrats, I know the feeling.
Thanks for report glad to see other reports. Sardis is on my list to fish this week.
Wow! Nice 16 incher. Thanks for sharing the report and pictures.
Be safe and good luck fishing
Yes sir, talked to a couple of guys from Arkansas loading up when I was leaving. They fished Saturday & Sunday and said they had at least 150 shorts (a lot of 11" same as me) with a total of 7 keepers (4 Saturday / 3 yesterday). They were spider rigging, out of all the shorts I caught on cranks not one was a causality, all got the rear hook in the lip. So to me that was the only success I had yesterday. :-)
Short fish hang with shorts. Long fish hang under my boat. glad to hear about good short numbers.
At Enid several throwbackers were lightly hooked but appeared to have problems when tossed back. Pressure change perhaps.
Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
