Thread: Wister Pattern

The lake was 8 ft high so Brian and I dipped a single jig in the flooded bushes in the main lake. We both used Huckabee Meat Dragga rods, crappie pro reels, spooled with 10 lb crappie pro hi vis yellow line. Brian used a chartruese yellow 1/8 oz Crappie Pro head with a 2" lime/char Yum beavertail and an orange 1/8 oz Crappie Pro jig head with a 2" pump/char Bobby Garland slab slayer. I used a chartruese yellow 5/32 Crappie Pro jig head with a 2" lime/char Yum beavertail and a 5/32 chartruese yellow CrappiePro jig head with a 2" pearl/char Yum Beavertail.

The depth we fished was 7-9 fow. Only a few of the bushes held fish, so we went back to those same bushes 2-3 times throughout the day. We only caught 20-25 fish the entire day but most of them were good fish. We caught all male fish, no females up shallow yet. Water temp was from 55-57 degrees and stained.

Nice jobs guys, wish I could have been there.

Odie, with Wister that high I was wondering if you found them in the flooded Brush. Excellent report Doug, I hope some of the other teams well post their pattern.

Odie, we plan on fishing Wister next weekend. Where would you recommend putting the boat in?......dave

Dave, with the lake up I would recommend Quarry Island.

Thanks for the help....dave

I should have been in the tour Saturday I had 16 fish 8 over 1lb and 2 over 2lbs. Maybe next time

Crappieman92, why didnt you fish the tournament?

Didn't have a boat caught those fish from the bank Saturday morning.

I've been wanting to drive over to Wister just to take a look and when I do, I will bring a pole. But not knowing anyplace to fish from the bank, I will be lost trying to find a decent spot. I wish that I could get you to show me around when I come over crappieman and help me find a place to fish since I do not use a boat anymore. Let me know, thanks.
