Fishing with the Fam on Greeson

I took the wife and kids to Lake Greeson this weekend. We went fishing with Kevin one morning to learn what the crappie were doing, then I spent the next day and half applying what I had learned.

The wife and boys had a blast fishing with crickets, while I targeted Crappie. We brought home 3 gallons of filets, and threw a ton of perch, bass, little crappie, and brim back.

Thanks to Jerry Blake for sending me Kevin's way. Jerry and Carlos are tearing them up too. I caught most of my fish 4-6 ft deep. Some 3" and the biggest one was 12" though. It helps to go with the guide, because they can turn you on to places you otherwise wouldn't know about.

Here is a pic with the family after fishing with the guide. His website is fishingadventuresongreeson.com.

That sure looks fun, especially with the little guys. Congrats on the good catch.

Nice mess of fish there!!!! Gratz
I am going to Greeson 20 April - 26
I can't afford a guide :( but we Gona try

Looks like y'all had fun. Good mess of fish.

Fetmo - They should be in full spawn then. The lake is down, and you can see a lot of the buried structure sticking out of the water in the coves. My guess is you'll find them there. I'll be back there with some members of my church for a Men's Retreat on April 29. If you don't mind - give me a report.

My oldest had the most fun fishing off the dock with minnows and crickets at Self Creek Marina while I was cleaning fish. I'd filet a fish, take of a perch / bass / crappie then rebait the hook. It took almost 2 hours to filet 33 fish. Most were small, but he added 7 keepers to the ice chest. He had a blast.
