I fished Choctaw this morning for a little while and picked up 3 nice keepers. There were several boat trolling this area so I decided to try some other places and that was a mistake did not get another bite, but it sure was nice to get out on the lake for a little while.
Degray Lake was a bust today. Caught one and had another one get tangled in the brush.
I'm glad you were able to get a lake fix and pick up a few....did you pull cranks or jigs?
I fished around Middle Fork and Mill Creek yesterday and only caught one dink crappie and one 4lb hybrid. The water is still very cold. Started out about 41 degrees and topped out about 44 at noon. Cured some of my cabin fever though. Can't wait til next weekend although "they" are forecasting more cold air this week.
I pulled "creekslick's" horsehead jigs.:DQuote:

thanks,

Good question. Also what were you catching them on and how deep?Quote:

Not fishing up in the oxbows nor fishing the main channel either,fishing any slack or small eddies off the main channel.The river is up but is sorta clear for black,water goods good but still on the high side with more current than I like.The jig color has not been imporant,pink/white,blue/white,john deere,wally word,red/white/char,char.,all colors that I tried worked.I use pony heads in 1/32 and 1/16 and bounce them off bottom 6 to 8 inches,sometimes jerk them off bottom 2 to 4 feet and let them fall back to bottom on slack line.Not finding them around brush or logs,finding them in open water with a hard sand or hard mud botton.Caught a 1 1/2 black nose that was hitting minners on the surface in a small eddie with alot of trash floating on top of the water.
Long lining or spider rigging?Quote:

I know I was marking crappie aboout 40 to 50 feet down. I just couldn't stay on top of them long enough to find out what they would hit. I ain't too good in a current or wind for holding a boat. I put some 2oz eggs above some jigs tipped with minners. I did get a big gaspergoo to co-operate. He gave me a good tussel. I don't know what he weighed, but, he was as long as my leg! I didn't even want him in my just cleaned boat. So, I knocked the jig out of his lip and let him be.Quote:
