Members hunter_3780 Posted March 23, 2015 Members Posted March 23, 2015 I don't post much on here much since I don't catch many fish but since I have caught some the last few days I thought I would report. I put in at cricket on Thursday with a cousin at 2:00 we fished minnows under a slip bobber with the bobber stop set at 3'. We fished till almost dark and ended up with 24 keepers and that many more shorts. The fish were on any kind of wood from 10 to 30 feet of water. Sunday I put in at cricket at 8:00 fished the same setup but the fish were on noticeably shallower structure. The deepest structure I could get bit on was about 14'. I caught fish on the banks as well. Loaded the boat at 3:00 with 12 keeps and probably caught 30 or more shorts.
Members Lewisstull Posted March 23, 2015 Members Posted March 23, 2015 Nice. We're you far up the creek?
Biglerma Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 This early spring sucks! I have 2 trips planned in April to fish the crappie spawn but it looks like it will be all but gone by the time I get there. This is the earliest I've heard of fish being on the banks in years.
Members hunter_3780 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Members Posted March 23, 2015 As far as how far up long creek I caught fish from just south of the cricket marina to the other side of the Enid launch ramp.

The nicer fish are still suspending over deeper water near brush and not really on the banks in a spawning pattern. The best spawn fishing I've had is usually later in April, but you can catch them up shallow near wood from anytime after mid March if the water is over 50 degrees.

Yeah what females i have filleted look to still be a ways out from laying. Most if the fish I'm catching are males although some big ones. I had a 15 inch male on Sunday. Seth 1
