ElDorado 8-2-2017

We fished all over the main lake; brush piles, riprap, some deep and shallow timber from 5:30a to 2p. The weather killed us as did the weather forecasters. Barometer and wind were all over the place . We caught 30 or so dinks but no keepers ; our best pattern was fishing 8 foot deep in 13 feet of water over brush. We even tried 2 feet deep, shortdraw. Color didn’t matter. Caught a really skinny white bass, some white perch and a black bass. A guy who put in right before us happened to pull out right after us; he said he caught 2 keepers and some dinks.

8-5-2017 Jigged the Cheney fishing dock this morning, 10 dinks before noon and I gave up. Got plenty of fish in the freezer, going to Hutch Sunday for a fish fry at my parents.

The bigger crappie are not in brush this time of year. Try trees in the old El Dorado lake in 12-18fow. That's where we have them... Solid fish but you have to cover water so don't expect to catch more than 2 per tree. Hope this helps...

Bite is still good at Eldorado... haven't had a problem keeping 20 over 10 inches in the last 3 months. Last weekend caught my fish in 30 foot of water.

Wow! Your going to have to take me out sometime and show me how to do it...

What is the water temp at El Dorado now? Have the fish moved up any shallower yet?

Was 75 degrees last Friday when I fished it.
