Crappie Report

[shockley32]

Had the wonderful opportunity to spend the last three days on Pomme. What a blast!! The crappie bite is good to excellent. The only problem I had was it took five shorts (of course most were 8 7/8") to catch one keeper. However when they bite like crazy it's not too much of a deal.

Here's the lowdown:

Standing Timber - Most fish that came from standing timber were better quality, however the lake is still 3-4' high and most of the trees are difficult to find. The next week should help the lake tremendously. Started by pitching jigs and then went up and vertical jigged.

Brush Piles - Large quantity of fish came from brush piles. It seemed like more shorts were on brush than trees, however we did catch a few hogs on the piles. Fish brush anywhere from 15 fow to 30 fow. Most fish were caught vertical just on top of the brush. However casting to the pile, counting down and slowly reeling it back produced several.

Jigs, Jigs and more Jigs - Never bought or used a minnow all weekend, however according to the report after the tournament that was probably a mistake! The lake was dirty up the Lindly to good visibility and fairly clean toward the dam and the first part of the Pomme arm. Used chart and dark colors in dirty water and blues/whites/grays in clearer water.

Friday night three of us fished for one hour and fifty minutes. We had over 125 crappie, most were just short of keeper status, however we did have plenty of fish to clean when we came in.

Good luck to all and get out and give Pomme a try!

I need a lesson, we only had 15 keepers in two days of fishing. We had planned on coming to the weigh in but I had it in my head it was at 3 instead of 2 so looked wrapped up when we drove by a little after 3. Was wanting to hear reports. We caught lots of shorts but very few keeper. Most came about 20 ft in brush .Maybe we can make it up the next time.
