Another fishing trip (lake Woodruff)

Not really a Crappie report but we did catch one along with some good bream and shellcrackers. Group of friends went to lake Woodruff along with wives for a weekend of fishing and shopping and eating. Made it there Thursday in all the rain. Friday morning we were planning on fishing the lake but whitecaps changed our minds so we fished the creeks and did pretty good. Saturday was another good day with some bigger fish but not as many. Here are a few pics from our trip.

Here is the boat ready to go.....

I thought that they were building blocks, and he was sneaking them in to build a shack on the lake.

Wow, them some nice shellies Curtis.

Great report and pics

Great fish, good to see you out there this morning Curtis! Glad you made it back home safely.

Hi Curtis, great photos. I'm in Kansas about to head out with Ron tomorrow to Glen Elder, Ks for some crappie fishing. Will be home next Saturday and back on the Choctawhatchee Bream fishing. The bite is hot there right now.

Nice job. Are they any good eating?:biggrin

They were donated to a fish fry.........I like Crappie Fillets.....Child Pieces

Welcome to the middle Curtis....glad you came down and enjoyed yourself!:cheers2

Curtis nice fish I see what I missed. Believe it or not shell cracker filets are really good also.

Yep Shell Crackers are goood But Crappie are just a little better LOL RR

Curtis
Any places to stay close by fer 6, 8 or maybe 10 to stay wid out tent

We stayed downtown so our wives would be close to civilization but we left our boats and fished out of Highlands Park....http://www.hpfishcamp.com/home
Nice place and friendly people.

They are a great place, they have some cabins & possibly trailers for larger parties to rent.

That run from the fishcamp out can be tough when it's foggy. Looks like a good trip overall. There used to be a restaurant at DeLeon Springs that had pretty good pancakes, and was right on the water. Lots of fun to be had around there. Looks like you had a good trip overall.

Great pic's and post Curtis, wish we could have been there. See you in about 7 more months.

Looking forward to seeing you and Eileen again. I fished the last three days (Wed- Friday) and caught some good fish. There are lots of decent fish all over the lake but we found some bigger fish in 5 foot of water trolling 1/24 heads pretty fast. May go back full moon in June to fish for Bream. I don't keep any Crappie during the Summer months .....all are released to grow bigger in the fall. We sure had a good time at Woodruff......released enough fish to stock a small pond. Good to watch a cork dissappear......
