If I was you I would fish shallow...if you fish it during the spawn then thats where those slabs will be when it heats up.....Ranger

River is a quick run from FlatRock- there are some big lay downs on the main river channel that are fishing pretty good. Since you will be there during the week, you shouldn't have to deal with too much Wake Board/ Sea Do/ Drag Boat traffic. They have been wanting minnows if you can keep them fresh- Attached is a goodern from last weekend.And don't be afraid to take a swim if you get hot. Cornerpocket and I swim regularly when it gets like this....redneck but keeps you on the water.

Guided EB today on the lower end of Gibson doing what I do best. CAST AND DRAGGIN wood and rocks. We started fishing at 8 am and had our limit alil after 1pm. We caught Cats, Drum, and Crappie today and a few Rock Bass as well. We ended up with somewhere between 45 to 50 total crappie with some really nice blacks and whites. Alot of keeper fish mixed in. Most of the fish came from 8' to 12' DOW. Not all wood were holding fish and if you casted over it 3 or 4 times and didn't get bit it was time to move. Same for the rock piles as well. Baits of choice today we Bobby Garlands in pearl and blue thunder and Slab Bandits in burnt crawfish colors.....Ranger

Ranger ,, guides taking guides fishing for FREE ,,its hard to make any $$ doing that RANGER ,,glad to see you all had a good time and got on some good fish,, i tried the river the other day for a second time for a couple hours,, before it got to about 250 degrees !!!and never got a bite up there ,guess i need to do some more homework,,, i fished every stump and laydown i saw (with jigs)?????? ,,,, never hit the south end just loaded up cause it was HOT !!!

Ranger ,, i finally made it through there without hitting shallow water ,,i got a new puck for my locator and it refreshes the map about twice as fast...

Thanks for the phone call!!!i need some pointers up there... 20# sack ,!!!thats a good bag for this time of year !!! you been fishin the jackpots on tue ,thur. if not you need to be ,, i forgot all about that sunshade im gonna come get it this weekend hopefully i'l call you fri or sat

crazy, EB can afford to pay double so thats what I charged him..lmbo...naw we had a gr8 time and he isn't to old to learn new stuff....I bet he buys him a UL Falcon 6' and a new Shimano Reel before long to cast and drag with...he had a blast and liked to entise em to bit as well...Its not often you get to fish with a feller or woman as far as that goes that has the same passion for crappie fishin as I do...But EB does, and he is also like me as he wants all the knowledge he can cram into his brain so he can be a better fisherman and provide the best service possible for all to enjoy.....ok I preached enough already..just remember I charge him double.......Rofl...Ranger

Yeah I'm glad I have trips Fri Sat and Mon so I could pay Ranger! Lol The last 8 keepers to finish the limit Ranger caught 7 of them! He put it on me at the end of the day! Good luck on your trip tomorrow! Gaston Hall and I will be in the river if it's not running! EB
