Covered every depth from 1' to 20' every color, type, with and without shiners. Trees, submerged brush, flats. Not a bite for hours. Till finally one spot gave up 6 one- pound crappie in 15 minutes time. I thought it was go-time. Then not another bite for the rest of the day. Bass were busting on top quite a bit but I resisted temptation to hold out for that cooler full. Didn't happen. But it was a beautiful day on a beautiful lake and don't regret a second of it. Try again next weekend!
Glad you enjoyed your day. Plus you got 6 fish. That would be more than enough for me and my wife. Congratulations!
My son Juicy has been doing well on Bisteneau. Using BG Sassy Shad in Bluegrass.

Check his Facebook Page (Joshua Maxwell) also, he started a new Blog, the crappie life. I think you will enjoy his Blog. It will be about Lakes in your area.
Six is a nice mess at my house. Max I checked out the Juicy's blog and that's nice. I hope he keeps it up. I love that picture of the cypress trees.
Good catch. Way to stick it out.
Maxwell328 I checked it out when he first started and havent thought to go back...I will go see whats new! Ive heard this time of year they do better farther south...time to scout out new territory. Usually I stay between The Port and Crows Foot. Rarely have no reason to venture farther than that..
edit:
Maxwell328...Just checked out his blog, thats pretty neat...is that you with the hat holding the crappie? Thats an awesome picture!
That's Josh with that hat on. LOL!
Progator135 we are sinking tops and the fish are starring to get in them! Can you belive 75% of last week's catch were females full of eggs! The filet was turning yellow, I guess they are not gonna spawn and are absorbing the egss!
Also been catchin them on cajun cricket and black/orange hair jig
Thanks for the update Juicy... a few of the ones I caught last weekend at Dorcheat still had eggs. Thought that was odd. I think the crazy weather this spring got some of em all messed up. Im pretty sure if I could actually locate the fish I could get em to bite...just like those 6 I found this weekend.. they were in that one spot and they werent bashful. Then nothin else.
I had a huge pile of brush I was going to take out and sink up this way. Cleared my fence line and Had it sittin right on my property line by next to mine and my neighbors burning area we share... While I was on vacation, My neighbor thought he was doing me a favor and cut it all up and burnt it along with some of his stuff...I thanked him with much appreciation..didnt have the heart to tell him I had plans for it...It was prime top material too...
