Thread: New to bob's fishing hole and NWR

If I'm not out there with my buddy Garrett in his boat as a team I will be in my blue and black sundolphin kayak. And my name is mike.

Welcome to the gang, I fish a lot at NWR. Speckle75 is spot on as river crappie don't get as large as you would think. I fish out of a silver polar Kraft. name is Dave. Hope to see you out on the water soon.

I don't fish the NWR a lot but on my best day there I caught 66. Very rare to catch one over 1lb. Spoke to the biologist there one year during our bash and to put it simply, it's just not a good body of water for big crappie. I think my biggest there is 13" and weighed 1lb 5oz.

If you are launching with a trailer , back n slowly until you get a feel for the low spot and end of ramp. Can't wait for some perch!!

Welcome, lots of good folks and info here. I fished Bradford as a kid in the 60's, catching lots of nice bluegills on fly rod and poppers. saw my first water moccasin there when I was about 12! My buddy did what had be a world record standing broad jump out of the water and up the bank and ran all the way home.
