    Default New to Crappie fishing and Crappie.com


    Hello all I recently moved to Texas about 2 years ago. I am originally from Tennessee and have been fishing most of my life. Usually it was from the bank or wading a small rive or creek back home. I now live on Lake Tawakoni and recently but a boat. Any of you local folks have any info you would share with me about the lake. I know it is the catfish capital of Texas, but I am interested in the crappie. I know about 2-mile ridge and so does everyone else, LOL. I looks like a boat parking lot under that bridge at times. I am not looking for your honey holes just want to learn my way around the lake.

    If anyone is interested in showing me around the lake I do have a boat ( 18 ft Triton) with humminbird electronics. I also make the best bologna and cheese sandwich this side of the Mississippi River.

    Again not looking for any ones fishing holes,just want to learn the lake and maybe gain a new fishing buddy.

    Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome. Not much help as it's been a long time since I fished Tawakoni, but we used to rent a cabin at Windy Point? Can't be for sure that was the name but anyway the area was loaded with trees and I always did pretty good. There was a fishing pier there too that held a fair amount too. Anyway welcome to Texas. I'm jealous of the area you live in with all the awesome lakes. You want a real challenge come to west central Texas and fish the rocks, lol

    Thanks all for the welcome. Ketchin I live on the north side of the 2 mile bridge so the damn wont be a bad boat ride, When you say laydowns next month should I wait until the end of January to try the damn and those laydowns? I know there as to be more places to catch crappie besides 2 mile bride.

    Wen fishing 25 f of water what weigh jig head do you guys use?
