Degray Lake Crappie

Scrapper, my dad, and I went fishing Wednesday on Degray Lake. We pulled up 25 nice crappie from the deep. We also picked up one bass and a bream. We were fishing 10-20' deep in 23-35' of water. Most of the fish we caught were 17-20 feet deep. All of the crappie were caught on shiners fished over and around bamboo crappie condos. We fished over 5 different condos all in the Brushy Creek area of the lake. I can't remember the water temperature, but maybe Scrapper does and will chime in.
Here's a couple pics:

Here is my dad with the two biggest ones, both of which he caught.

The bottom picture was taken with my mom's camera, and apparently she hasn't changed the date/time stamp! Her batteries died and I pulled out my camera for the top picture.

Thems some nice looking crappie you got there agrihawg. I have fished Degray a few times but didn't catch any as nice as those.

NICE CATCH:cool:

My dad and I caught 10 crappie, 1 bream, and 3 bass today on Degray Lake. The fishing was slow, with the crappie shutting off around an hour before sunset. Same crappie condos as the other fish. The water temp today was 55.6 The 10 today were decent size and the one below is the biggest.

Good lookin' bunch o' fish, fellas!

I went Friday but didn't do so well. My brother and I DID catch two nice stripers on Thursday, 12 and 10 pounds. Crappie fishin' was zip...just like Friday.

Maybe Monday I can do some good. Keep up the good work on the condos! Looks like the "proof is in the puddin'." :)

nice fish

Some good looking crappie Agrihawg, I used to bass fish Degray some. It's a beatiful lake, wish it were a little closer, but may have to make a day trip there.

Thanks guys. I'm slowing improving my crappie fishing. With the help of Scrapper and my dad, maybe we'll start catching them fairly consistently. LA Stumpjumper, we normally bass fish degray, but we're all really catching the crappie bug. Whether we go in Scrappers boat or my dad's, they're both Rangers.

Nice catch. Glad to see you guys joining in on all the fun and making posts of your success. Keep it up!

Good fish, good fellowship! Cant ask for anything any better. Congrats!:)

good fish...good fellowship (with fish)...lol...j/k. Yeah it was a great time...first time we REALLY got into the fish like that!! Hope to do it again soon! Have to get the rest of my "crappie" setup done. I didn't get to go with them the second trip...I was on the first one though...I had the 3rd biggest in the big group!! :D lol @ agrihawg! j/k

Has anyone fished Degray lake lately? Just curious if anyone has been doing any good there.
