Still into the crappie

[dennishoddy]

Got out Saturday with the son of my buddy to get him into fishing. He hasn't done much in the past, and I suspect he watches a lot of tv bass fishing. Took about an hour of looking but finally found the fish. They were holding behind a log that was partially submerged in some slow current. He got a few bites, but never landed a fish. He was using a heavy action rod, and setting the hook like it was a 10lb bass. Rippin' their lips off! Finally got him to slow down and he started catching. We had a good evening. He ended up with 7. 16 for me.

That's a lot of fine eating there. Minnows for bait?

No one will be able to catch those lipless fish now.

Yup. Had medium and large. Big fish on the big minnows.
Tried jigs, couldn't buy a bite.

Been once just before the crappie started biting. When they slow down, I'll get into the cats. The guys at work want a fish fry, so that will be the excuse to go back out.

I still have catfish from last year. The crappie never last more than a month.

Any of you gone crappie fishing on Lake Fork in Texas? I know a retired doctor who absolutely loves to go fishing for crappie down there.
