Crappie/bass

[waterpossum]

A little late, but last Thursday a friend and I went to Stockton and stayed at Southwinds at Ruark. Got on water at 9 p.m. Thusday night and set out lights for crappie over 40' of water and surprisingly had 8 nice slab crappie when we quit at 11. We didn't have minnows.The fish were caught 15' deep. I hand tied some 1/16 oz dark jigs (black and brown) and six were caught on those colors. We both were not having much luck directly under the light. Most fish were caught close to the outer limits of the light. Friday morning was a struggle until we found a couple of productive brushpiles in 25' of water N. of Mutton. Bobby Garland baits (cajun cricket and double rainbow) were the ticket for 10 more. We took out at 10 am. We pretty well stunk it up at the Friday night bass tournament weighing only three that weighed 6.5. All came on 10" red plastic worms. I just didn't have a good back up plan since my spots were catching heavy winds. I think there were 17 limits weighed so obviously the fishing was pretty good. Seems to me, only fishing it twice, that solid 2-2/12 pound fish with a 5 lb kicker will get you close most weeks.
