The sloughs off the Wa****a river are dynamite for big slabs, Rock creek, Bell creek, House tops, cumberland, etc. Keep posting for us, we have kicked around bringing the CDC trail down that way maybe get some of those good TX fisherman in there with us.

Eufaula Boy, I know the river you are talking about! The Wa****a? I did fish Little Glass/Big Glasses arm yesterday and also two weeks ago. We didn't have the numbers but, boy we sure found some nice slabs. One thing I was surprised about, the fish we caught are slimmer than I was used to in texas lakes. I measured one that was 14 1/2 inches and only weighed 1.3 lbs! Had a couple of others in the 14" range that just didn't weight what I expected. I'm thinking a fish that long should weigh at least 2 pounds?
I've been fishing with Bobby Russell. He is on the forum but, don't think he ever posts and I don't know his screen name. But, he is a local lifelong resident big time crappie addict and talks about the creeks, Housetops, Cumerland and Butcherblock all the time. In fact, he is heading there this morning. (I have a previous commitment or I'd be with him.)
I've yet to find any good numbers. Each day we only fish about 3 to 4 hours and each day only have between 15 to 18 crappie.
All nice fish, just not the numbers I hoped for.
I'd sure be game for either a summer camp or the CDC tournament! Like EB said above, Texoma is an overlooked gem for big crappie. I'm thinking my chances are much better of catching that elusive 3+ pounder here! I've only fished the Little/Big Glassed and Newberry Creek arms of the lake so far. Both offer nice marinas, good ramps and are situated to be able to fish in a south or north wind. I hope to fish more areas real soon.
