Crappies

[Wesley]

Going out over the weekend.  Where are you getting the crappies nowadays?

THANKS

Last report I saw was that they were 8-12 ft down on pole timber over 20-40 ft of water.   Still pre-spawn.  Most of the guys on here are bass guys and not crappie fisherman.   I fish crappie at T-rock more than I do bass and it's tough to find good reports.   Any of the river arms should produce as I would guess water temps are around 56-58 by the weekend if you run far enough up river.  If you don't have live scope I've had good luck just slow trolling through tree lines dragging a 1/8 or 1/16 oz jig over the tops.  If you don't know where the trees are it could be tough.   Side scan sonar sure helps.  I've fished T-rock since I was 8 year old (41 now) and back in those days the trees were all over and crappie much easier to find.  Now you have to just remember where the trees used to be as most have broke off but are still present subsurface.

 Biglerma, how far up the King’s would you go for crappie? We’re staying near Arrow Point next week and I was going to try up by Shell Knob. Is it better to go further south instead? Just trying to get the kids on some fish. Thanks
