    Default Lakes in the Abilene area-December 14, 2007


    Merry Christmas

    Myself and several crappie buddies have fished the following lakes and here are the recent results:

    Ft. Phantom Hill
    Water temp. 48-50. Slow, slow and slower. Crappie have abandoned the 8-12 foot range and the search continues.

    Lake Stamford
    Water temp. 48-51. Good to great in the very early mornings at the crappie barge for crappie up to 2 pounds, best bite has been on 1/16 and 1/32 oz. crappie jigs (white/chart/white)(Inisde the crappie house is best, currently). Little crappie start taking over by mid morning. A few crappie and sand bass are being caught at the bridge, but it is sporadic with no pattern on time or bait.

    Lake Hubbard Creek
    Water temp. 50-52. Fair in Hubbard Creek with most crappie caught on minnows at 8-10 feet in laydowns and brush piles. You can hide from the wind in this creek.

    I have been fishing near Big Sandy Creek and caught a limit on Thursday, but there are alot of stumps in that area, so go slow. I have not been doing that great in the creek itself. Most fish were 10.5 to 11.5 inches with two big crappie-all on 1/16oz. jigs. Wind will get to you getting to this creek if it is blowing and again very stumpy and treacherous. Best color was white/pink/white and hot pink/rose/hot pink. Brush in 12 foot range was best on this particular day.

    Good Fishing and Happy Holidays,
    Ron, Mud-Dabber

    How you doing?? Crappie population should explode since you removed half the catfish population from that lake, haha. I ain't tuff enough for those Ivie crappie. Fishing at night in the wintertime is for the real crappie fisherman. I am a daytime fishermen for sure.
    You know back 7-10 years ago, they sure used to catch them along the Concho River area, close but away from the bridge in the river channels.

    Regards and Happy Holidays,
    Ron, Mud-Dabber

    P.S. You guys killed them in East Texas, man ole man those pictures you sent were very impressive.

    Great Report- I can't wait until we move to our house at Ft Phantom! I hope to find some good crappie there! I have the boat ready now after my last surgery, ready to attach these east Texas Slabs when we get some better weather. Good Luck
