Fished up the river and caught about 10-12 crappie! Only three keepers. Hopefully I will be able to get back up there this weekend after a few days of warm weather. They should start to stack up. I do love this time of year.

Keep em comin and good luck. Only wish I could take the time to go. Need boat complete so I can fish.
Thanks for the report, been hoping someone would check it out. Will return the favor. Headed out Friday just havnt decided where. Oolagah, Verdigris river or Chouteau. We sure are blessed with good fishing water in this part of the state.
I fished the Toppers area on Gibson fish are still 12 to 15 ft. in brush, on minnows, water temp 5 ft. below the surfice was 48 degrees it will only get better, I still have caught anything on this new electric chicken jig.
I hope the water level cooperates this spring. Couple years ago we pulled a lot of crappie out of Toppers from the bank around the docks. Took my 5yo son fishing tonight around Billy Creek. Didn't catch a crappie but they should turn on before long.
I have lived at Toppers area since 1983 been fishin that hole every year since always been good I went fishin today caught a couple of small ones in 10 ft. of water. I checked the water temp while I was there it was 52 in main channel and 56 up in cove by mills pond the water is warming up good about another week and the bite will be on. P.S. I still have not got a bite on this electric chicken jig.
They are catching them up in spring creek in about 4ft of water. I was busy fishing in 10 ft. When I finally threw in the towel I found a guy coming down the creek that had a 5 gallon bucket full of slabs. Gave him the few I had. Water temp was 58. I tried a couple of places, Earbob and Big hollow. Water temp was around 50 with no fish being caught.
I fished from the bank around the docks in Toppers today. Caught 2 bass but no crappie. Mrs. Heffley was cleaning a few she had caught the last couple days. Her dock is the first one the crappie start bitting in my opinion so it shouldn't be long.
I fished in Spring Creek early last week and caught about 12 but only 3 keepers. I didn't make it up there this weekend but glad to here there was bigger fish bitting.
Hey 1Slabseeker what do you drive I drive a Blue dodge dakota 4x4 I fish there and on the Rice's walk way be fish next to you and didn't know it good luck the bite will be on in another week maybe two.
I drive a blue crew crab z71 with an osu tag in front. I too have pulled a lot of fish of the Rice's walkway over the years. They even redone the walkway this year. I need to thank them for not putting up a locked gate at the entry like some have. I can't wait until the crappie turn on there. Toppers is definately one of my favorite spots.
I got to go fishin saturday afternoon for an hour and a half I caught 7 (5 females and 2 males) they were in 15 ft. of water fishin 12 ft. deep with a blue and clear jig. Went out sunday morning caught 4 each one was over 2 lbs. they were in 8 ft. water fishin a bobber 4 ft. deep with medium size minnows. I talked to a bass chaser he said the water temp was 49 degrees sunday I didn't trust a thing he said so I went and grabed my handy hot tub temp gauge and it was reading 58 degrees. Good luck fishin spring break is my time to catch a few I will be at the waters edge everyday this week.
