Ya'll come on up to Green River Lake this Sat (Apr 16th) and join us at the Slabfest :eek: :p
We're gonna meet at Holmes Bend ... fish from ~ 8AM-130PM ... clean the catch & start cooking around 2PM (more or less). Spider rigging, longline trolling, casting to cover, drowning minners should be the ticket for that area of the lake. Can't guarantee any MONSTER Crappie ;) ... but, they're in there Thumbs Up you just gotta find'em Doh
... cp :cool:
I'll be giving the crappie a break and hoping that the turkeys are a little bit more cooperative. :D
Wish I could make it but I gotta head back to the boat Thur. :(Quote:

We fished blood river fri sat sun. Fri we had 14 really nice ones 1.5 lbs average. Sat we had 15 with alot of throwbacks. Sunday we had 15 in about 3 to 4 hours with several throbacks than left for home. Bite was good at first light and right @ dark. Fished stakes from 4 ft to 1.5 ft deep. Went back to crappie cove for a while sun but the wind was to strong and we were only getting little ones there. Marabou char and pink was the best for us. Also everything seemed to come just off the bottom. Sunlight must of drove them down.
Older guy with white hair & a red Ranger? Sure it wasn't a retired fireman. I think my ol'buddy Merrit is over there right now.Quote:

I didn't see him our last day there (Saturday). I was going to ask his name. I figured if I asked him too early on, I'd just forget it anyway.
I did see a red Ranger. I didn't see the guy who owned it.
Looks like fishing will be tough there for a while yet. Looks like a lot of rain and storms today according to weatherman. Should be a good spawn this year with all that water and wind keeping fisherman off the lake.
Well we are heading down the 17th to the 23rd and fish Blood river. I know another cold front is coming thru on Friday and if the fish are confused then what am i to do? do you think the fish will make a mad dash to spawn and then pull back. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
