Joe Pool is still hit and miss. One day will be good, the next couple of days not so good.
The year has been a long one and not full of good news .But , to be sure the crappie fishing is right off the CHARTS NOW !
Pick your winter poison and go chase them . The bite is right and winter has set in early .
Some are deep ,some are shallow and both black and white crappie can be had in abundance on many local water bodies .
Boats ,Docks , Banks , Creeks , the sky is the limit
About every one of the waters i like have a bite right now and the fish look healthy and fat .
Go get ya some my friends
KABOOM is the word

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.

I mainly fish Roberts now, I have lived on most every side of the metroplex over the years and have fished Tawk, Fork, Lavon, hubbard, lewisville and now primarly Roberts due to where I live. Most of the other lakes I have learned where they go now but for the life of me, I can not figure them out on Roberts in the winter. This is my 3rd year trying. April to Nov, I have them nailed down but not when it gets this cold. Once they leave the deep water brush piles and the dam, I can not find them. I spent 8 hours yesterday hitting every spot I know with only 2 small ones at the dam in 50' of water so I went up to the 3002 bridge and checked it out, I found a pair with livescope and got one. I saw a couple others but no numbers at the bridge to speak of. I went North of the bridge fishing timer in about 30' of water for the next 1/2 mile and nothing to speak of. That lake is full of fish, they have to be somewhere. Any clue what part of the lake they are in this time of year? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Sir!
That is one place I ran out of time and did not get to go up into. Dang it. I considered it but took a gamble and went up the West leg instead. Next trip I will give it a shot. I suspect they will only continue to go further up there now that it is cold so if they are there they should be somewhat cornered....
Thanks,
Greg

i been getting reports about them up there for weeks now .
i imagine they will stay up in there to some degree for a good while .
they spawn up in that area well in the spring too
there is a good chance they are stacked up under one of those bridges up there .

Thanks again, it will be another week before I can get back out but I will hit that area next time because I can confirm with confidence there are few if any on the main lake right now...

some lakes around here darn near empty out on the main lake in the winter .
my bud is on a creek/river at a a different lake right now as i type
and if you saw what he is finding on his graph it would cause a mental breakdown .
fish literally stacked up in big tree like formations in 20 foot of water
rows and rows of them and from the bottom to about 4 foot under the surface .
he said there are others on them to and limits are flying in the boats so fast its hard to count them .
no small fish no extra large fish just herds and herds of 11 to 13 inchers .
wish i could go out there with him
it makes me Krazy errrr when i am work and he sends me those graph pictures

Oh wow, that is awesome. I hear you on the work thing, I am strapped to a desk M-F 8-5 and its a family business so I have had 1 day off in 7 years so week days I don't get to fish in the winter. Now in the summer its great, I can hammer out a limit after work in 2 hours before dark usually but I lack winter experience and Roberts has so many trees on the North end that when the wind is blowing and I don't know the routes to take, I am not willing to beat my boat up to get up in the North end of the lake. I need to learn the routes up there one day. Buck Creek I am comfortable with just because there is a ramp right there and I don't have to go through 3 miles of trees to get up into Buck Creek pretty far. They make boat lane maps for Fork for GPS units, I sure wish someone would make something like that for Roberts, I would buy it. Thanks for the update and I'm glad your buddy is getting to get out and get some action.
yes launch right there , dont run the lake to it , the boat lane isnt terribly tough to follow or wasnt back when i used to go there .
but its a waste of time and gas to do it unless you want to sight see along the way
the lane runs for the most part along the west side of buck creek fairly close to the bank
there used to be a very visible tree line along its eastern boundary .
look for the guys along the bank back up in there .
and or where they are parked and walk in ....
