I usually stay away from the water on weekends, but my son wanted to go, and I'm glad we did. Only 2 crappie, but he got a triple hook-up on perch. Made it worth the trip right there. Just thought I'd share with y'all.Attachment 405196

Great picture of Lucas! I bet he was a happy camper getting that big tug. :highfive That little house in the back ground is the give away. There is another place on Wylie that looks like it. Glad you'll made the trip and had some fun.
Oh yeah. He was happy. That was quite a surprise for him.

Y'all did better than I did Saturday night. I haven't been able to find them last 2 times out.
Only caught and released 4 catfish. Good eating size but I wasn't wanting catfish. No Crappie or Perch to be found.
1/4 mile upriver from South Point Landing. Guess I should have run down river...lol
I still had fun getting some alone time and down time from the house projects.
Maybe be fishing to deep, but following the bait. Unless my electronic are telling fibs.

The crappie we found were in open water near channel about 6ft down. Perch were in same area about 20ft down. Don't know if that helps. Lol.

Good job. You can tell your son was really having fun! Great memories.:)
Yes, gabowman, he did enjoy it. He loves catching fish. Doesn't matter what it is. He pulled in a yellow perch, spotted bass, and a 10-lb channel cat today.
Thanks, BigDawgg, for meeting us. Maybe next time we can do some fishing together. And we both thank you so much for what you did for Lucas. That was awesome.Attachment 405256

You are welcome! Glad to met up with you and Lucas. I wasn't going to fish but Delbert told me he would go. Del had 23 perch, 1 bass, 1 crappie and two catfish to take the ride home with him. I just noticed in your picture you got lights on your boat in the back? :popcorn
No sir. Just the anchor light.

They are pretty scattered right now. The last couple times out I've found fish south of South Point in 20-25 FOW and about half way down the water column. There is a ton of bait hanging around flats that are adjacent to the river and creek channels. Unfortunately, that's where the Pontoon Parade, jet gnats, and wake makers are too.Quote:

Thanks for the help.

Saturday was rough in Texas too Saturday but memories were made and that’s all that matters with the little ones

Got lucky and found a few keepers and a nice perch Tuesday evening. The perch was on a point near the channel about 15-20 ft down. The crappie and other small perch were on a brush pile about 6-10 ft down.Attachment 405291

Nice catfish. Looks about half as big as your son. I KNOW he enjoyed that one. Back when my son was your son's age we fished ALOT. He loved it and to tell ya the truth I did too. Now my son is grown with his own family so work and family takes priority over fishing most of the time. We had good trips and not-so-good trips but I still cherish all the memories from them. I hope you and your son does the same. Keep him on the water and good luck to you guys.:)
Thanks, gabowman. He loves every bit of it. So do I. We go every chance we get. He's the reason I want to learn more than sitting on brush piles for crappie. I want to be able to pass that knowledge on to him.

Well try and read up on spider rigging. You can get into that without alot of cost. I did it with Walmart telescopic rods and those $3-$4 durango reels. Longlining is what I enjoy but to do it right you'd want a trolling motor with cruise control and autopilot. Those are fairly expensive. Lot of fun though.;)
Thanks, gabowman. I would be interested in both of those, but my current boat is too small for spider rigging, and my trolling motor isn't remote controlled. I plan on upgrading to a bigger boat as soon as I can find what I'm looking for. Longlining is something I want to learn, but I'd like to have someone on the water with me to speed up the learning curve. I feel that I can do that with my current setup, but it would be more challenging.
