Thread: Carl Blackwell anyone?

Wanna email me some of those jigs

Have fished Blackwell a couple times in the last 10 days with great success one day and medium the next. Dec 13th, me and a buddy launched the boat and started along the Dam where there was a bunch of fish hanging around brush and we tried everything to get them to bite but no luck. We decided to head west and fish some standing timber and that was the ticket. We caught over 100 fish but several were small fish. We kept 74 fish with the biggest being 13" but majority were around 10-11". Baits were 2.5" Mikes Custom Crappie Jigs in Silver/Pearl and Silver/Chart and Slab Slobber.

Dec 20th, I fished from boat for a few hours and it was a lot slower. Headed west again and fished the standing timber but only picked up 15 or 16 fish, all 10" to 12" on BG Natural Cricket. Headed to Turkey Hollow and picked up a couple Sandies, a small Saugeye and 2 pound LMB, but no crappie. Had to quit early due to other plans for the day. Was nice to get out for a little bit though.

Swollen,

You're doing better than most of the boaters I have talked with the last few trips. Only one boat came in today, and they only got one bump among three guys. They marked a lot of fish, but couldn't get them to bite. The dock was really slow. One guy got two on a slip cork. Everyone else got one or zip. I got 26 and an LMB, nearly all on a brown/dark brown/pink jig with some Krystal flash and a pumpkin pepper/chartreuse Thump Huntin' jig from DrNip. There were only six smaller ones this time, and most were 10 1/2 to 11 1/2.

Pretty nippy this morning. Not many fishermen out, and with good reason. The Kansas guys didn't get a single fish. One guy who switched from cork to vertical, off and on, got about ten, and 3-4 guys got 2-4. Blue and pink hair jig got 10 of my 12 fish, but only four were keepers.

Serves dem Kansas boys right. 😋

Anybody been lately?

ScottKeener, I was out at Blackwell for only 2 hours Sunday morning 7am to 9am and it was real slow for everyone. I only had 3 crappie, 2 were keepers I gave away. I came back Sunday from 4pm to 6pm and caught 10 crappie and 7 were keepers. I did land 1 Saugeye, 21" about 3lbs. All were caught on BG bleeding shad. Its been rough but I think this cold weather will draw them back in...I hope at least!

My buddy and I hit CB this afternoon for about 3 1/2 hours. Only 6 others fishing. One young guy had been there all day and left with a limit at about 5. He was using an 11-12 foot rod and fishing about 10 feet from the edge of the dock with a dark blue feather jig. The others got zero to 4 or five. We got 25, nearly all on the Nursery jig, and three on Nip's willow tail.
