Thread: Ask the Biologist

Hi Craig....Hey I'm from Wichita and go to El Dorado often to camp bought a boat not long ago and ready to start fishing for mostly crappie,bass & catfish.

How is the crappie fishing on the lake??? Is the standing timber around the Box Turtle Point campground (Bluestem) worth trying???

Also looking at the timber in the Boulder Bluff area for crappie also.

I also went catfishing in the cove behind the marina and had some luck with catfish 32 caught by 3 of us but were only able to keep 5 because of size (small).Would this be a good place to try for crappie??

I would also like to do some Bass fishing on the lake but never hear any reports or from anyone fishing for bass on El Dorado.

Thanks for reading and any help you can give.Also thanks for all the work you do on the lakes.

Signed up for a camphost job for 2011 at El Dorado Lake if I get it will be doing a lot of fishing in my free time.Been camping at the park since 2001 but have not done much fishing on it.
