A friend of mine called tonight to say he fished the lake around the river at Jack's Isle. He is a die hard, go to the grave, minnow drowning old timer. He said "Six dozen minnows gone to about five dozen bass" he only caught 3 crappy's."Bass on the side of the cypress trees all of them " he says.
Just thought it was worth a post:
Well I'll be dang. I guess three of them didn't get sucked through the spillway during the drawdown this last winter. Ya'll just quit worry'n bout crappie in Millwood. I'll tell you when they get back in any numbers. No sense in wasting your time, just let me do all the work for ya. I don't mind sweating for a bunch of good guys like ya'll, doing all the samplin and such. Remember, one guy testing the waters is all that lake needs due to the shock it just went through. You guys will be hearin from me every once in a while with an update. :D:D:D
You may be joking Lip Ripper, but I'm about ready to give Millwood up if it don't improve real quick. I had to go to Dierks Lake last week to catch enough crappie to feed my starving family! Crappie are shallow and just busting with eggs up there, chart/white jig
Lip ripper,
WOW!
There are two kinds of people in the world, givers and takers.It is clear you are one of them.........LOL........)<)))>
One thing about Larry, he loves to give it, but he can take it too!Quote:

Now that's a deal any sane guy couldn't refuse. Ok, so I told you guys I was going down this weekend. I fished hard in all the right places on Saturday and I mean all daggum day. I caught a total of 4 and they were all males. I fished jigs and minnows. Sunday, I ended up with 10 and 8 of them were over 2 lbs each and only two males this time. I fished the same area but used nothing but minnows. Seems like the water is just not right down there for some reason. Most of the time you can limit by noon with ease. No one else is doing any good either. A friend and his son went with me in a separate boat. They did worse than I did. Do yourself a favor and go where they are biting. Sure wasn't Millwood. Going again this weekend to see if it is any better. Will post it up if there is good news to share.
BTW - Alan is right, I can take it. But I am a lot better at dishin it out....

A friend that fished there last weekend said all his bigger fish had spawned. Were yours spawned out yet Lip? He also stated that something just wasn't right about the lake. Maybe the fish that were ready to spawn, did so in deeper water during the cold front.

TRUE DAT BEAUDRAUX!!! Ah Eeeee! (And by the way, it is ALLEN, not ALAN! Geeze, you think after working with a guy for a couple years he would know that!).....(Well, then again, we are talking about Larry!)
My absolute bad "ALLEN". I was totally in the wrong for dimanteling your name like that. Please accept my most humble apology Sir. It shall not happen again. I get complacent in my typing and memory and suffer from CRS sysndrom in my years. I will work on a better repose and not create a diatribe over this.

The females I caught all still had eggs. They were not the right color though. Still very pale yellow and not any signs of blood veigns running through them. Sure looked as though they were not ready to release them. The warm weather this week should trigger them though. Problem is, down there they may move in and do their thing in three days and then leave. You have to be there at the right time or you will miss it. This year the lake is just all wrong. I have never seen it so messed up and out of sequence.Quote:
