Thread: Lake Blackshear

I wish I could help you but I have only fished Blackshear a few times with very limited results. I am suprised some of the Blackshear regulars have not chimed in? Could be no one has been recently due to heat and boat traffic.

yes the heat and boat traffic has kept me away . i plann on going next weekend . i have a DR apt in Cordale 29 th so i will stay the weekend at the camper haven . i also have a camper there firefighteremt31750 .puting another motor on my pontoon this weekend . had a 40 puting a 55 hp on it befor i take it back and put it in the slip .

I'm not crappie fishing much right now. I fished Blackshear today and caught these fishing for bream. I was using crickets around the cypress trees and grass...I threw back alot of small bream. Water temp was 83* this morning and was up to 88* when I left at 2. Fish early due to water lice, Blackshear is a tough lake to learn, but once you learn it some you can catch some fish.

Yeah I know what ya'll mean about the heat and boat traffic. I went Saturday(July 5th), after 11am........you can hang it up, too many water skiers and jet ski's too even think about fishing!!! Unless you find somewhere way back in a slough away from boat traffic, then there's no guarrantee as to "finding the fish!!" There was too many idiots on the water that day.........I try my darnedest not to be a hater, and I enjoy all aspects of the lake whether fishing or just recreational, but when you come haulin' boogity boogity by women and children wading/swimming, and not even slow up........I think one rightfully deserves every bullet hole in the hull of their boat someone sends their way!!!

This is the one I caught in the fall of '12 up near Camper's Haven. Like I said earlier, I was with a friend in his boat, basically fishing blind in the water, no electronics what so ever on his jon boat other than the trolling motor. We were just pitching minnows to blow downs like the one behind me in the pic. Pretty much soon as the line hit the water the cork never stopped, I actually thought it was a bass from the way it hit. It measured just over 17" and right at 2.3lbs., I was going to get it mounted. I had it stored in the deep freezer at my dad's, the day I went to go take it to the taxidermist I found it gone.......still don't know where or how!!!!

welcome to the site Firefighteremt31750 look forward to meeting you if not already.
fishing the sloughs are great when the boat traffic gits bad . the problem is i have a pontoon boat and it is a little big for the sloughs . got a 14 ft with a 25 on it hope to git it set up soon .will be at the shop most of tomorrow putting a motor on my pontoon .

Why aim for the hull??????????????????

Well I rarely miss what I aim for, Fillet. If I hit the driver, that would mean I'd have to go to work................I hate workin' on my days off!!
