From north la. Come over to LOP every year for the last 15 years or so trying to hit the spawn time and for the last 3 years the lake hasn't been very nice from 5ft low to 13ft high this year is looking excellent tho would love to hear from any locals about water temp and if any crappie are being caught in shallow water. Thanks

I believe you 100% Stovall. A friend and myself made a mad dash over there 2/18/17 yesterday we left at 3am made it to the lake at 6am and there were about 50 or more trucks putting boats in thinking we hit the jackpot and it turned out to be a bass tournament. So we finally got on the water by 7 fished hard all day all over the lake Fromm shallow water to deep ended the day with 5 crappie then drove the 3 hour trip home. OUCH!!! Won't do that again.Quote:

Thanks that would be great. My dad and myself are coming in about a month from now for a week we'll be camped in Johnson creek hoping to hit the spawn.
Hopefully Ill be back on the water before then!

Next month that lake should be on fire shallow ......never been there but I bet it is so if it ain't already
I hope to be there friday morning for a few hrs and then I can update. Had alot of rain yesterday and some this morning so that may play a big part if the spillway is flowing

Just got word that crappie are getting up in spawning depths. Hanging around brush, shallow stumps and weeds. Friend of mines brother got into a mess of them. Bit on jigs and minnows.

Hit LOP today. Couldnt get on the main lake due to the wind. Ran in Meddlin creek but the wond was still bad and had maybe 3 bites. Jumped over to the spillway and fished there for about 4hrs. Caught 35-40 and 10 keepers.Attachment 259442

Now that's what I'm talking about. Thinking around March 11 spawn will be on like donkey kong hoping to pick up some of those big males fanning with their tux on.
Very well could be. I know some guys caught shallow last weekend but i couldnt get anything. I just jigged straight down with minnows to get bites in about 15ft. That was in the channel after the spillway.

FYI, I knew of a few guys on the lake sunday and it wasnt looking good. One set was in a cove hitting shallow water and the other set was north of 155 bridge. Neither did all that well. On the river south of the spillway is where the most action was. I had 10 and a buddy had 15. 1 jig and 9 on minnows.Quote:

I've never fished that river I did look at it last year though I've always fished the lake will probably hit that river this year though will be coming on the 17th for 2 weeks hope to find them somewhere. Usually do just have to hunt for them.
Yeah they can be a pain. The ramp at the river can be troublesome getting in and out. Its pretty rough. The 2nd bend turns to the left. Its the deepest part that i know of. I just drop anchor and straight jig or skip a hair jig on the bottom. Seems to work good there

:ThumbsUp
Well here is my own report. Fished it from Sat through Monday. Caught fish all over the water column. I'll be back, cool place.
Well im here fishing all the hot spots I know of and have managed to pick up one 2lb2oz nice crappie will keep searching they got to be here somewhere. Won't be going back to Pinehill my lock was cut off a tool box in the bed of my truck and a chainsaw, cordless screwdriver and other various tools were stolen.
Oh man that sucks. Thats where I always put in too. Ive never had any trouble but I guess thats my warning not to keep going there. I hate to hear thatQuote:

Found some fish in Lasseter Creek ended the day with 20 fishing in 10 fow 5ft deep and some were caught shallow in the fallen tree tops looks like the banks are getting ready hot.
Bluzchevy - awesome catch! I went 2 weeks ago and got nill. I went shallow with minnows, crickets and jigs without anything. Hit the spillway and down the river and caught 3 small cats and 2 keeper crappie but that was it. Trying for tomorrow afternoon on the lake. May hit some stumps and see what happens.
Stovall the crappie should be on the bank real shallow by now I ended up with 230 crappie and had a great time. Thanks for the info you provided earlier in the year it really helped.Quote:
