Spring fling scouting report 4/25/2018

I have my grandchildren here this week so I thought I take Jordan out to scout out some crappie. The weather is looking good and so are the fish. Creeks are loading up with fish and bait. Saw lots of fish and bait but we had to work hard for the fish. Went to four creeks to scout out and fish were at the mouth and all the way back 3/4th in all of them. Bait is coming up and so are the fish.

Would this get large crappie at Spring fling?

Jordan also caught 4 kitties. He had fun with this 10 lb on 6 pound test.

Also caught 4 perch. All fish still had eggs in them. This Saturday with the weather and the fish are getting right, looks like a fun day. Will be scouting Thursday and Friday more scouting reports to come.

Its not your fault. They are delicious and fishermen need to tank up to be on the water for 4 hours.
Your boat probably has flotation so even if the stern gets swamped by your body mass it will not be a total loss. Plus I doubt you can sink either😄

Quick poll:
who thinks a Toon is in CK's future???
So stable, So much room,?MASSIVE CHEESE PUFF STORAGE AREAS!!

This was the first time this year I have seen lots of fish and bait In Big A Little A Torrence and Beaver Dam in long stretches not just pockets. I think the fish are making their move heading up creeks. All fish caught today still had eggs Even the perch and the perch spawn before the crappie I have been told. Also the perch had little to no shad in gut which tells me they should be going on a feeding frenzy soon. I will be out the next two days.

Nice catch CK thanks for sharing

Great job checking out the lake. Glad you and your grandson caught some fish. I really hope everyone this weekend do well on catching crappies. Yeah, that one crappie would win big fish and you already have the trophy to fit the size slot! :Rofl

Do y'all think the whole lake will be muddy by sat?

Not sure by Saturday but right now lower creeks are holding nicely.

Yea you can tell the water quality by my pics

I drove over a few shallow water bridges and it running hard and very dirty so it’s coming down

Mike,
Seriously, about the cheese puffs. You don’t have a problem until you lose the B under water, then then whole rig takes on a new meaning

Got 3 on board. Hope you can make it. Somebody should be willing to take a professional crappie whisperer on board !
