C.M. : Oh, So you got some new toys for thoses spring time slabs huh? ;)
Yea it would be nice if we had more rain up here too. then all those trees that fell over do to heavy rain last year back under water.But if we don't we can probally go all year on what we got last year before we start talking about drought like conditions that would affect fishing. we will see....
Thankfull : Yea.... there are not that many of us on here to post.
We need to get the word out that we are here so others can join. We need more California Crappie info.

Hello big minnow I am new to the site. I fish the delta arond the Stockton area. It is slow right now I am waiting for the water tempature to warm. When that happens the fishing will pick up and I will land some nice slabs !
Watching the reports from Isabella closely.
Crappie are showing in the marina area, fish to 2.5 lbs.
Still a couple weeks away from them moving into the trees and cages in the east arm.
I can hardly wait.

already popped down here,,

Welcome from the bayarea Crappie hunter....ahhhh the delta. i caught my first two pounder up in lodi on a slip bobber & minnow. I fished the Tracy area back in the early 90's as well. When i started out (my first two years) I only had one spot. It was great fishing good.... numbers & size, guaranteed. Bass,bluegill & crappie. Then mother nature taught me a valuable lesson about only relying on one fishing spot back then. "water hyacinth" . Now most of the spots i use to fish back then are now posted "private property."
Cm:Things here had warmed up but the cold fronts are reeking havoc on these fish. Their backing off and are tight lipped. But we got our water we needed!
T Mc: where are you from? N. or S.
I am originally from Oakland but I am in Management and moved to Stockton 15 years ago. I live out North now. I am going out this morning to see if any Slabs are showing. Its pretty cool most of my spots are within 15 minutes of the house. I am planning to fish Black Bute lake soon I have heard it is the best Crappie lake in Cali. Your thoughts?
Sorry it took so long to reply....
well... i have never fished black butte . I would love to go up and check it out! I'm not sure if it's the best crappie lake in Cali. (N. Cali maybe) but like you, i have heard folks braggin about this lake for years (not recently) but have never seen any proof . Not like other spots when fishin buddies would come by the house with ice chest full of limits and asking/braggin "when u want to go?" willing to take me but not tell me where ...lol. I think the big advantage this lake has is it's distance from everybody and everything as well as good numbers of crappie. There isn't much fishing pressure there. The closer u get to the bay area the the more fishing pressure u have. I mean the bayarea has over 7 million folks in a 7000sq. miles area. But not many of those folks are willing to travel 3hrs to to take a chance to catch crappie in Northern Ca.(thank God)... Salmon, sturgeon, white sea bass or hali's maybe. There only a few of us traveling that far. I say give it a try!
