Biglerma Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Fished kings river this past weekend Sat/Sun/Mon. Me and my dad absolutely smashed em catching 180 crappie in 3 days. Stopped each day when we hit 60 and went home. Half were keepers half we dinks. Bobber/minnow 2-3 ft down throwing 5-7 ft off the bank on anything in the water would yield a fish or two it seems. Fishing log jams mostly. Some coves had em, some didn't. One cove they were just freaking everywhere and another one we went to not even 1 bend up the lake had nothing, go figure. Caught 5 slabs at 2 pounds, biggest going 15.5 inches. I'll post pics when I have time. Sunday the big fish bit and we caught 8 or so over 13 inches but Saturday/Monday we only had a few at 13-14 inches, nothing over 14 that day. Not sure how many bass we caught, probably 20 a day. Nothing huge but my dad did have one that broke his line because his drag wasn't set. Our best guess is a fish in the 3-5 lb range. Water temps 60-62. I'll post up pics when I have time. Just wanted to get this report up. magicwormman, Seth, Ron Burgundy and 6 others 9
Devan S. Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Sounds like you had a dandy 3 days. I had the same pattern on Saturday morning throwing jigs on the bank. Get it right on the bank and work it out to 5-10 feet and generally I had a fish. Had to wade through quite a bit of shorts though compared to you. Ironically enough we pulled into one small cove with a log jam in it and caught several fish on back to back cast and had probably 20 on the same spot but didn't catch a single fish over 10 in that one spot. Caught several good gills too. My hope is this weekend after the good weather things will be even better.
Nitro 750 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Good job, sounds like you had a great weekend of fishing. I hope to get after them this weekend.
MOPanfisher Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Wait, What? I though TR didn't have a crappie population to speak of.
bfishn Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Some of us do our best not to speak of it. :-) MOPanfisher 1 I can't dance like I used to.
Nitro 750 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Be very very quite, there is no crappie in Table Rock, there is no need to even try to fish for them. MOPanfisher and Muddy Water 2
chi0082 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Nice slabs. Looks like some of those males have their tux's on already. I'm surprised as it's still early.
cheesemaster Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Nice report. Good to hear we have crappie in TR. I envy you being able to spend quality time with your father out on the lake making memories. Cherish the time because it goes way to fast.
Codywskeeter1521 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Sounds like a sick day is coming in my future.
