Had another great day on Sunday, beautiful weather! Ended up with a double limit and catching well over 40 crappie . Also caught two really nice walleye on the crappie jigs, had to release one because she was so nice big and beautiful! If you’re not finding the crappie you need to look for main lake brush piles that are in 15 to 25 feet of water. As I said earlier I can’t find any crappie in the coves or creek channels. Headed back up again today, hopefully they are still on the bite! Who says bananas in a boat are bad luck? 😁 Tight Lines!

Another great day on the lake with very little wind! Caught a limit of crappie and a dozen or so bass, same situation as yesterday. Crappie were still out on the flats on the main lake and the bass were in the creeks on channel swing banks. Jigs and swimbaits got the bass, shad colored jigs got the crappie. Tight Lines!

I was wondering who was going to make that comparison, you win! 😁

What a difference a day makes in the weather and the crappie bite! Loaded the boat today with some really nice SLABS for the hot oil!! Water temps were 42 and the crappie seem to have moved out onto the main lake flats, we found them in 16 to 25 feet of water. The brush piles I was doing so well on two weeks ago didn’t give up a crappie at all today or yesterday. Jigs in shad colors were all we fished with. Tight Lines!

Put on the water this morning around 9 o’clock and fished until 330. Pretty tough day for the crappie bite, ended up catching about six with only one keeper. However had a good day with the bass and this lovely large walleye, all of them are still swimming. The walleye and some of the bass came on swim baits and most of the other bass came on creature baits and jigs in 12 to 18 feet of water on secondary points and channel swing banks. Tight lines!

Did not see any big shad balls around the crappie, caught all of them on jigs in shad colors.

Pretty cold but pretty successful day on the water. Ended up with 18 keeper crappie and probably 15 or so bass. Launched at Mutton Creek around 9 o’clock and came off the water 30 minutes before sunset. Found the bass on channel swing banks close to deepwater catching most of them on creature baits and jigs in 10 to 20 feet of water. It appeared to us the crappie had move deeper than they were a couple of weeks ago, finding most of them in 30 feet of water on brush. I’m sure not looking forward to the weather forecast for the next six or seven days, yuck! Tight lines. This post has been promoted to an article

The crappie are also on the bite, 3 limits in the last three outings!! Tight Lines everyone! 48 degree water yesterday.

I’ll be in CO in late July for a reunion and back in CO for a wedding up by Estes Park in September. It will be nice to be in the thin air !! 😄

Dutch, that sounds almost exactly like our day last Thursday. I would say 80% of our fish were brown ones but our green ones, on average, were larger. I’m headed back up tomorrow and I’m going to concentrate on deeper water and see if I can find some bigger fish. That’s crazy to see the water 💦 that warm already, scary to think what it’s going to be in July. 😲

Great job Skeeter! We were also out on Monday out of Hartley and had a great day catching about a dozen crappie, keeping six, and four of those six had eggs. We ended up catching at least 30 bass one that went almost 5 pounds and one that was about 3 1/2. The bigger girl came out of some brush in about 8 inches of water, just blew up on what we call a Boy Howdy. I’m headed back up tomorrow also, putting in at Mutton Creek so if you head that way I’ll keep an eye out for you. I couldn’t believe how clear the water was, I dropped my crappie jig down until I could just barely see it and then lifted my rod tip and I had at least 10 or 12 feet of line out! Tight Lines All!

I was up yesterday and the water in the main lake down by the mile long bridge I could see my crappie jig in 10 feet of water easily. We ended up catching about a dozen Crappie and of the six we cleaned five still had eggs in them.

Now that is a slab!

I found the Crappie bite better the last 2 weeks. Put the boat in 12 to 14 feet of water and cast towards the bank and reel back very slowly.

Wonderful morning on the water with my good friend Everett Hayes! The crappie were really on the bite today! Sons Creek, 10’ deep, jigs, color didn’t seem to matter. Mostly nice females with eggs....still. Tight Lines! #dbllimit+ #itswhats4dinner

Sounds exactly like the day we had up in Son’s. Lots of Tight Lines!!

They have to get out of their trucks after they park, people would have to be blind not to see that their trailers are taking up two spots. Some people‘s kids........ There we’re at least a half a dozen spots that could not be parked in yesterday in the main lot because of the way people park their trucks and trailers. I can only imagine what this weekend is going to be like up there, I think I may stay home and let the madness continue. 🤪

Great job Skeeter!!! I should have looked a little harder for you today, we had another great day on the H2o!!! Now if we could just get folks to park their truck & trailer without taking up two spots.....what a mess!

55 degrees and clear around the twin bridges area.

Ditto! I’m taking George L. on Wednesday and hope to get him on the whites and slabs!!

Bring them on!!!

We were up today out of Roark Bluff and caught over 65 whites and 20 nice crappie. 90% of the whites were busting at the seam and had very rounded bellies. The 6 whites we kept and cleaned all had eggs.

Went out of Roark Bluff today along with a bunch of boats. Ended up with 33 bass but only 3 keepers. However caught this 24”, 4# beauty on a jig in 18 feet of water. Mostly jig fish today but a few on a crankbait and spinnerbait. #theeyestillswims #thecrappieareonthemove
