Lake Ohop

We hit Ohop Saturday in the late afternoon to see if the crappies were moving up yet. After checking 3 good holes we only hooked 2 largemouths and a few bluegills. The pads are not even up yet. Most years there would already be pad fields up and the crappies would be in the middle of spawn. Not this year. So we moved a bit off shore and starting fishing brush in 9-12 feet of water and started hitting fish...mostly females loaded with eggs. After about 3 hours we had caught about 30 or so. Most of them were from 9 to 11 inches but we only kept fish that were 10" or bigger. They should start to spawn soon as we did hook a couple of males in 5' of water...water temp was 65.1 to 67.2

Sup? Slab I'm Glad You Checked Out Ohop, Because It's Been On My Mind. I Glad You've Seen Fish Because Over The Years It Has Gotten Worse. My Biggest One Last Year Was About 6 Inches. But I Will Tell You This I Went Down To Hell's Canyon Last Summer For The First Time And Man I Was Down There For About 4 Days And I Forgot About Wa. Fishing. Man The Crappie Were Everywhere Including Large Channel Cats And Smallmouth Bass. My Largest One Went 4 Twelve Inches And Dawg It Was Peaceful Down There. I Hope I Can Catch Up With You This Year, I'm In The Process Of Forming A 6th Grade Tackle Football Team Representing The Eastside And Midland Area. I'll Holla - :)cbb
