The Post Spawn Full Moon Bite

Guys the Post spawn full moon bite is in full effect. Hungry crappie are coming off the beds and the rigors of love has made them lose allot of weight they are looking to put back on before entering their summer patterns. Look for them in cover or near cover in the Mid Depth ranges of whatever waters your fishing. Jig and Spider Rig or troll along secondary creek channels leading back into the main river or creek channels. This compiled with the full moon traditional big fish bite should have you grabbing your rods, Grab your Gal, and get to fishing. The bite should be great this week. Lets go get em guys this will be some of the best fishing we have left before the long hot summer. Tight Lines.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!! :biggrin

The 5 days prior to the full moon in May is the time of the largest bream spawn.

I would like to, but my motor is out of commission for a while.

The wife and I will be headed to Dardanelle on Thursday May 30. I'll take 3 days of that feeding frenzy!!

Along with 4 days of Reelfoot this weekend, it will be a good 2 weeks!

Thanks CP for the report. It look like it to be a good weather weekend also

Already been on this!!!!
Gulp!!!

I would love to join Ya CP. But, Mrs DP and I are headed to Alaska this weekend. I will check on you 1st week of June.

DP Watch a movie called Alone In The Wilderness. True stroy about a man at 51 went to Alaska and lived there alone till he was 82. Dick Preneke...Every red blooded American should watch this movie at least one time in their life. Have a great Trip and bring me a halibut fillet back. :)

about a forty pounder.

Well I've not been able to prove a full moon all out bream bite yet but so many folks talk about it. I know last year I was on Hamelton hot and heavy during that period and never found em but than again that was Hamelton while my buddy was on Gillham and seems he did find em good. I've tried Gillham during full moon before without success but I'm still thinking there's a possibility that ol moon puts on beds. It's a major bass tournament weekend this weekend here or I'd be doing some bassin at night with that there moon, well that and a falling lake due to recent rains.
A lotta times I've managed to find bream bedded but few times have I found those redears which are bigger and I think taste better or to find the bigger size on the breams.

What's the CRAPPIE pattern on Conway this time of year Russ? Dad and I are looking to give em a try in the next week or two when he gets his flatbottom out of the shop. May try the bream too although I don't like catching fish unless they are big enough to filet :)

CP I absolutely love that movie. Saw it a couple years ago and I'm ready to see it again.

Mitch it has been slow for me on Conway. I can catch 10-20 a trip but I haft to work for them. I have been verticle jigging Live cypress tress and lots of them just off the bottom in 5-7 feet deep.

That movie is unbelievable, one of a kind... and the true meaning of what a human being can do with his or her life if he or she has the will power. I hope some of the members who have not watched will watch it. A great True Story!!!
