    Default T-Bird


    This lake has seem like the Dead Sea over the years so I thought I'd give it a shake today. After 2 hours of begging dinks to bite I made a drastic change to the other side of the lake. Marked some new structure and one of them I pulled a good 20 off of. Crappie were very aggressive on this side of the lake. Nothing to write home about as far as size goes but ended the 4 hour trip with I’d 40 or so and probably 25 were 10” or so eaters. One could get a limit if they spent a day at it. Only got pics of the two that stood out to me. Biggest was just shy of 13.5” and all my years fishing tbird I’ve never caught a black crappie from here. I’ve heard of some say they’ve caught them but I hear all types of wild fishing stories and never seen anyone post a pic. All fish were marked safe and allowed to swim to see another day. Blue/chartreuse and white/chartreuse plastic were used on a dipping rod or cast and dragging them.

    Snuck out here for 3 hours between the OSU and OU game and had 12. Lots of short strikes. Think they were just bumping my bait with their nose. Also had another black crappie! Didn’t realize it until I got home or else I would’ve let it swim. Must of caught it at the last spot that had skeeters the size of quarters attacking me. Was crazy. Saw one other boat on the lake. Was nice.

    Nice trip sir!
    I’m guessing black crappie are rare on third?
    I’m loving this amount of boat traffic.
    I saw 4 boats yesterday.

    Went out this morning for four hours. Couldn’t get bit on a plastic or casting. They’d just short strike it or bump it with their nose. Had to use 10’ rod with 1/16oz hand tie with weight above. Mostly swing it past them and let pendulum back to them. Most keepers were buried in the mud under the piles. Kept 20 and threw back a lot of 9 inchers and saw a ton of bait. Hopefully them 9 inchers chomp on the bait and get bigger!
