Breas, bare with me here I am going to try and see if I can copy a satellite view of BB lake and mark you some areas to fish for crappie.

I lived there for a while and have fished every year for the last 30 years. BB has some large crappie in it and aren't hard to catch either.

Breas the water temp was 65 degrees in the morning and would hit 70 degrees in a lot of places by 2:00pm. The fish I caught were all males and some were car tag size. All had spawned out and were guarding the nests.

Slipster,

Were you fishing up on the north end?

**crappie_jiggin** · 04-20-2010, 11:15 AM

Breas, did you make the trip yet? If so what is the report for your trip?

Caught lots of fish but nothing huge. I spun a bearing or something to do with my prop. It wasn't the prop pin. I idled back in but couldn't get past a fast idle or the prop would slip and vibrate. It kinda put a damper on things but at least I didn't have to paddle. It happened about half way between Bull and Bee creek. I had to idle to the Carson Creek ramp. I made it to the ramp about dark thirty so I was lucky.

Sounds like you slipped your hub on the prop. Mine did the same thing last summer. I was told to either buy a new prop or have the hub rebuilt. Rebuilt hub for $90, new prop would have been around $350.

I take it you are talking bass and not crappie, or where you able to get into some crappie as well.

I hope the information I gave you was helpful in your trip.

You have to head up the lake to the standing timber (Bull, Otter, Bee Creeks). Minnows are the best. I usually buy a pound of minnows and fish from 8-12'. You need to fish close to the channels. Hit every tree you can find(cedars not pines are the best), once you catch one, fish it out. I usually fish from 5-10 am after that they are dead.

I have caught up to 150 in a 5 hr trip.
