Hello all,,,,,Newbe from Ca/AZ and the Colorado River
Well hello all, My name is Dale, grew up and live in SoCal and do my fishing out on and near the Colorado River and its back waters about 250 miles away and and try to make the trip twice a month,,,
Its got to been over 40 years since I probably have even caught a crappie... Use to go with my Grandfather back in the early sixty's out to Lake Havasu on the Colorado River to do some catfishing and always did some crappie fishing in the spring off the lite up dock at night and getting stringers full of big slabs,,, sure is different place now days, not much of even a chance for a crappie,,, spent my whole life fishing up down the lower river of nearly 200 miles but always for cats, the last 10 for the flatheads down on the lower stretches of the river, not much of any crappie in the lower stretches ,,..
Now then In the last year I bought a place out near the river In Topock AZ which is adjacent to the 5000 acre Topock Marsh which is full of crappie and some nice channel cats,(AZ channel cat record came out of the Marsh) the cats i have down but the crappie have not been as easy,,, 90% of the marsh 2 to 3 foot deep and full of tree stumps,, so I'm here to learn, much like I have done on the catfish site I have been on for the last ten years, never knew a thing about a flathead catfish until I joined and now I have got many a flat over 30 with the biggest being 52, so hope it works as well here,,
