Lake Blackshear Fishing Report 04/02/2016

We fished Blackshear on Saturday and found fish in the mouth of the creeks in 8-10 fow and on some flats in 12-15 fow. Had to wade thru some smaller fish to find some keepers.We tried shooting some trees and docks in the back of the creeks for about 1 1/2 hours but came up with nothing there. All fish were caught longlining with the darker color jigs being the best. We tried to keep the jigs in the 6-8 ft range and that seemed to work the best for us in the mouth of the creeks and went a little deeper with jig presentation out on the flats. A little bit of rain early in the day and windy toward 11:00 or so thru the rest of the day. The wind made it hard to stay on the fish. The biggest fish we caught was a 16 in white crappie that had already spawned. She only weighed 1.69 lbs. Some of the black crappie still had eggs but they were ready to spew at any time now.

Thanks for the report, I want to fish Blackshear this Friday, but that depends on what the wind does. They are calling for 10-15 with 25 mph gust Friday and Saturday...aint no way
I am fishing Blackshear in those winds.

Maybe the weather folks will be wrong...I aint been on the water in almost 3 weeks now, its killing me.

Dutch I know what you mean my wife walked in on me in the bathroom and caught me fishing in the bath tub with my dock shooting rod. They were hitting Popsicle and John deer green. Lol
