Little River was a bust but Pine Creek offered a few

Ok, so the pictures won't enlarge and couldn't find a way to rotate....putting pics on here via Iphone docked to computer isn't the easiest though. Me and Ol RangerJSB hit little River this morning at daybreak only to find swift water, so we loaded his express and headed to OK since we both had the whole day to fish and don't get to much due to work. Here's a few we found over there today, had 34 in all on Pine Creek. Size has been better in the past but they'll make a stink. We both commented on how fat they was and as seen here about half those fish had eggs??? I've never lost so many jigs in all my life though so Jerry once I get that catalog in I'm in need my friend. I even managed to break my buddy's pole pulling on a snag to get loose, sorry bout that Scotty.
Now for the pattern. We found fish holding in ditches/draws out about 20-24' right on the bottom. We caught fish on several different colors but blk/pink, blue/chart, blk/orange and grn/yellow seemed to be popular today. May be a little bit early in the year for that spot but it gets better as Winter goes on and this was our 1st trip over there in a while, for the Winter season that is. The lake was way down for 3 or 4 years and finally they decided to let it fill back up so I'm sure fish are lost with all the added water, maybe they will leave it alone finally.
In any case had a great time and I may try to fish a couple more days before I have to go back to work.

Yup had a blast today always good to spend a day on the water with a good buddy we covered a lot of highway on the big circle but it was worth it like skeeter said size has been better but we still had a few good 12-13" crappie I know my hands was cold by time I got them cleaned I did clean them in the kitchen since the better half was shopping with her mom even got the mess cleaned up before she got back

10-4, maybe you can help me on some color choices too. I told Scotty we need to take a trip sometime. I'd mentioned Blue Mtn Lake but we could always head SE down in your neck of the woods also.

That's a good catch anywhere. Been using 1/8th spanky's deep on my fish right now. Got to love MeatGetter jigs/Critters.

[constructskeeter]

Yeah I'm down to only one spanky right now. Ill for sure be needing more of those.

With guys persistence pays off

Hey guys thanks for sharing! Millwood right?? I had been hearing that they were planning to slowly drain the lake and dig the silt out of it. Its slowly filling itself up. I don't know if that got hexed due to funds or what...any idea?? Great catch!

Nice mess of fish. those will fry up nice

[constructskeeter]

I'd heard they wanted/talked about raising millwood lake level 10-12" above current normal level to flood more wetlands for ducks but not any draw downs. It was swift other day. That river is tough to catch at the right level to catch fish at.
