Well I pressed my luck and took another day to fish. I didn't hear the hurricane forecast, it sure got rough on the lake today. We caught the ones we caught before 9am then the waves started rolling in. We couldn't stay on the lake and went into Connerly bayou but didn't catch any keepers. We tried the north end of the lake and caught one keeper. It still beats a day at work. We caught these on a roadrunner.

L.A. your right about it beats a day at work any time WTG.
Jerry,
I wouldn't say your luck ran out. those are 13 nice fish. Plus, you didn't have to work! Did you get them on the south end of the lake? Also, were you on the outside bend of the lake, or on the inside bend where the cypress forest is?
Nothing wrong with a trip like that.:D Beats working:cool:
I caught them on the south side of the lake, just a little south of Connerly Bayou.Quote:

Getting my stuff together for a trip to Chicot in the morning. Going to be down there a few days. I was hoping the weather would stay nice for a while longer, looks like a cold front may be coming this weekend. Going to start fishing on the south end but might have to move around to find them.
Consider yourself lucky even though you feel your luck ran out...I worked today...it could have been worse for you my friend =) MM
Mr. Jerry i wish i could catch those crappie like you after reading your posts on here i belive you and old Jerry the guide are the two best crappie fisherman on here. I am gonna try and learn how to catch them on those roadrunners do you jig them are cast them if you cast them how do you know how deep your fishing i noticed you burnt them up on Morgan Point last year i went over there and did not catch a crappie but i tell you what i got me some crickets and tore those bream a new one i hope i can go back this year. MAY GOD BLESS
Jerry, I don't think your luck ran out, I think the fish just wanted a break. You got some pretty impressive catches in the last few days.
Man that is a great catch. I have to try the RR one day. I've just never been much on casting.
Hey Jerry, at least they weren't completely gone. It's just the weather conditions wouldn't let you fish for 'em. Hope you get a chance to get back out there soon.
Maynard, I fish the roadrunner by casting with a fairly slow retrieve. I like to fish over structure and swim the bait just over the structure. If the structure is fairly deep I'll let the roadrunner sink, counting down before I retreive. If very deep I'll add a split shot a few inches above the bait to get it down faster. I use a slow retrieve with a little twitch every now and then to make sure the spinner is spinning. When you go to Morgan Point send me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction.Quote:
