dan hufferd Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 We got on the water around 8 fished most of the day, throwing jigs at the bank and working the brush nothing much. We found drifting a couple minnows worked alright but it was still just one here and one there but they were all keepers. The area is covered in spoonbill boats. Yes there is a k bass in the mix.

I don't know what to think about the spoonbill season.
liphunter Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I'm glad to find out it just isn't me. I went down Thursday and although, I didn't get skunked, It was close. That was the first time I had been there in 20 plus years. And it was crazy. I guess Stockton has spoiled me in regards to a more laid back approach and environment. I think I'll head back to Stockton and Pomme. lol But that being said, That's a beautiful area. 2 hours ago, dan hufferd said: Agreed, I think the crappie were really boat shy.

Or you could just flip a coin???
176champion Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Bridgeport is a good place to stay away from this time of year until the end of spoonbill season anyway, that place will be busy 24/7. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
Seth Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Opening day is crazy down there, but it wilL die down in a few weeks. We snag at night early in the season for this reason. We crappie fished Wednesday evening and thursday afternoon. Only way we caught them was by jigging around brush piles in 20’ of water between Flat Creek and Walnut Springs . Managed 8 keepers Thursday evening and 9 on friday. Caught quite a few shorts as well. They were down around 10’ deep for the most part. grizwilson 1
