Thread: New to crappie fishing and Ray Roberts

I've only been on one a few times and mostly enjoyed it. The last time I dumped pretty much all my handties and my other good stuff that was all in the same box in 10-12 ft of really cold water off a dock. On the main lake and wasnt paying attention and just barely opened the box open to pick out my next color and got hit by a nice wake that pushed me into the pole beside me. Grabbing the dock kept me from swimming but out spilled everything in my box. I had no dry clothes packed and we were a long paddle from the truck so I couldnt complain.......too much lol. A handful of lessons learned in one moment.

Lol no kidding. It's a ton of fun when the conditions are right and it's a lot of fun when they aren't. I've pretty well got everything leashed or foam wrapped for floatation to avoid losing stuff. A lesson learned from other's stories lol

On a side note I'm looking at putting in at Jordan park at RR soon and paddling north to some coves nearby that look like they would hold some fish.

Anyone know if they are in the spawn or post spawn on the south end (or north for that matter) of the lake? Game warden told me they've been catching them up on the North end lately, but it's a pretty good drive for me to get up there. I'm trying to narrow down the depth of water I'm checking before going out there so I can sort of pre plan the trip.
