The creek run has started

I tend to avoid ketchn striped fish these days and yesterday I thought maybe I would try to find a few creek crappie at a spot they go up in when its winter time .
A for sure signal the crappie are not there is herds of white bass and yellow bass.
to be sure there are herds of them up in the creek right now .
The late January run has begun and the numbers of them in there was pretty ridiculous , I managed 47 in an hour on my lunch break from really small to pretty good size .
they seemed to like the orange head blue body chart tail best but one broke me off and I went to a monkey milk looking jig and they ate it ok as well .
about 3 foot under a float and just twitching it a bit got bit lots and lots .
if you like them I say go get them ...the run has begun :highfive

I was in between lake worth and eagle mountain lake in ft worth
Pretty well know for its winter crappie runs no doubt and spring sand bass action as well

They are fun
