Here's one of me with a nice eatin size crappie.
Dude, your standards are higher than mine. Those look like a couple of good fish to me. Good catch. :highfive
Good job! Good to see you taking your dad. Do me a favor.......post a photo next time you catch a slab! Those seem like pretty good fish to me!
I didn't say they were little ones :). I just said no BIG ones. We usually catch a few 2+ pounders there, but not today. White Oak Lake near Camden can be good to you, or bad to you. We know it pretty well and can manage a mess of fish nearly every time we go. Dad won't go by himself anymore and I am a high school teacher, so he's been waiting to go during the week when it's not so crowded. We'll hit them about twice a week until August when I have to go back to work. GTT
Looks like nice Specks to me!
Pole fishing or spiderrig ???? Pretty specks! !!!!!
nice blacks, those dudes are fighters, thanks for the pics
I ain't seen a little one yet. I'm disappointed:biggrin
Nice fish there.
They look good to me!
Good pix
Good looking fish and at that size still a decent mess of fish. Were yall on lower or upper lake? I tried to look at the houses in the background but couldn't tell. We first started bass fishing down there and I've only went once crappie fishing before they sucked it down and although boats were everywhere I didn't catch a fish down there, very disappointed after all the hype, I think they were bream fishing that day in early, early spring already. Too bad they drained the wrong lake in my opinion that lower lake was always better bass fishing than the upper lake.
12 foot jig poles in 10 feet of water. There will be better days. GTTQuote:

We were on upper White Oak. Lower was drained DRY a few years back, but it's refilling now. You can catch and keep bluegills and cats, but NO crappie. I'm not a bass fisherman unless they start schooling in my vicinity. I have had some BIG FUN when that happens!Quote:

I remember my dad, uncle, and I caught over 100 crappie one morning. I remember bass schooling all around while we were catching crappie. Just one of those wild days, I guess. I also remember lots of 1,2,3 fish trips where we released them back because we couldn't even catch enough to eat. GTT
We've trolled all around that lower lake back before the draw down and there's no much for depth changes other than when you drop off in the channel. I think we only hit the upper lake a time or two. Right before that draw down was last time I went down there cause I heard they was tearing them up. We all had to put in at that dam due to other ramps closed to low water. The ramp back East of the dam where you drive over the little bridge and the ramp is just right there was all dry that day, now I know why we tore them bass up off that bridge rip rap, lol. My buddy kicked about a $200 rod n reel overboard down there one time that we never found. He hit a stump while trolling, imagine that, a stump down there. Lots of 10 FOW down there once you get out of the channel so to say you was catching them 10' deep wont' tell folks much, lol, but that's about the right depth I fish most places and find em too.Quote:
