Be sure and let us know how you do. What lake are you planning on going to?

Woodworker, headed out to lake carl blackwell just west of stillwater. Will let you know tomorrow how i do. Have two holes baited with sour corn for the last couple days so if no crappie should get a cat or two.

Well, not able to post much good news today. Didnt find any crappie last night. After two hours and three spots, I never did get the baitfish into my area. Not sure whats up. I fished above some brush piles that we put out this last winter and I also fished a structure. I moved over to the Baited Catfish holes and did okay, but nothing worth keeping. I actually switched to my crappie rods for catfishing because the holes were loaded with small channels around 1 to 1.5 pounds. Lots of fun. Used Cj's Punch Bait in Shad Flavor and a small treble hook.

Well, that's kinda of a bummer. Sorry it didn't work out for you. Maybe someone can give you an idea of what's up. That's fishing, so maybe next you'll get into em.

Merle, it wasn't too bad. Nice to be on the water and at least I had some pretty fast action with the Catfish. Will have to head up to Keystone some night and try it. I know a couple slips that are loaded with trees and sunken piles.

Sounds good to me; just let me know and we will do it! I have found some spots on Keystone, but am still looking for additional ones. Thanks.

Hi swollencrappie: Some nights they just don't bite or come to your lights. Don't give up, it's really fun when they do bite. We got 18 last night up to 12". I have pictures and a post in the Main Crappie Forum..Good Luck to ya.
