    Default Smithville 5/13&14/16 report*


    Couldn't resist so went fishing after the rain stopped on Friday, bite was decent but very windy so ended up going home and returning Saturday morning lol. Both days were very windy, bobber wouldn't stay in place Went the morning to see how the bite is at night vs the morning. Seems like night is more productive, what are your experiences? Crappie were really far out 20-25ft or so and fishing about 7-8ft under a slip bobber. Detecting the bites that far was quite challenging as they weren't aggressive with the minnows. Rain brought in some nice cats but here is a pic!

    You are starting to get this thing figured out Jimmy. Go back and look at some of your earlier posts and you will be amazed at what you have learned. It was that way for all of us. Wait til you are an old geezer like me then you will be amazed at what you have forgotten.

    Congrats on the catch. I only started fishing about 4 years ago. Saw crappie.com maybe 2 or so years ago. Only thing i regret is not finding it sooner.

    Met some really nice people on here and learned quite a bit also.

    Thanks! My paps caught a couple in the pic but the majority of em including the cats were caught by me lol. Didn't get sick so it was worth the cold windy trips.
