waterpossum Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I have a sister in law that recently moved close to the lake. She wants me to take her crappie fishing. She is close to the Bolivar landing. I live on Stockton and have been doing fairly well. Any suggestions what depth to start in
MOPanfisher Posted April 23 Posted April 23 We have been catching crappie anywhere from right on the bank out to 10 for or so where the boat would be setting. Have been sorting through lots of shorts, and also getting some dang nice ones. Jig color hasn't been a big issue as long as there is some chartreuse on it. If wind is cal enough (unlikely) 1/32 Oz jig fished really really slow is a killer, or if a bobber fisherman that will work too. Some places have a fair amt of green slime, youbjust have to avoid it or deal with it. Biggest issues have been the wind speed and direction. waterpossum, Quillback and grizwilson 3

We did make it out in the swirling winds Monday at the Bolivar landing. It was near impossible to find a bank not wind blown. You are dead on about the fish. Caught a few shallow and some off ledges in 8' of water. Brought home 11 all over 10". Threw back about that many. All on 1/16 oz roadrunners. Water temp was 63 MOPanfisher, Quillback and grizwilson 3
MOPanfisher Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Well any advice I might have had is gone now until it settles down, and with wind not supposed to drop below 30mph and lots of time above that until Tuesday or something I think I will just worry about other things. However if I get a call.from one of my buddies wanting to go well heck ya cant catch em at home. waterpossum 1
