I was just wanting to know if anyone down south was starting to catch crappie yet ? we still have ice on some ponds around here

Bill,I don't know if your refering to the spawn bite or the winter bite. According to the crappie guides on Canton Lake, the winter bite is just about over. The pre-spawning bite starts about when the redbuds start blooming.

here at tenkiller we have been catch crappie all winter. not a lot but some days better than others. catching from real small all the way up to 14"ers. the spawn bite shouldnt be long.

I haven't been up to Ellsworth for some time but I heard they've been fair to good on minnows and jigs from about 12 to about 25' for several weeks now.

You know, come to think of it I might have to get up there and try around the rocks before too long.

Crappie guides at Canton??? Where can I get info about that?

 

[AwShucks]

I believe Catfish George can put you onto them. There was an article in last weeks Daily Oklahoman about them also. Here is a link to the article....

I got a good mess of crappie down here last weekend before all the rain came in. Going to see if they're still cooperating this weekend. I was just fishin a farm pond down by the Red River. When they are on, they're ON... but it took a while to get a good mess of them, they ain't kicked it in high gear yet. I think they are just now starting to get heated up.

my boys and I slaughtered them at Guthrie last week most were small but we had about 40 between 10 -14" we been back since the rain and caught very few

 

[AwShucks]

Chris, welcome to the B.O.C. I believe I saw you and your boys at Guthrie Lake. I live in the houses to the east of the neck everyone's been catching the little crappie at. They were bitin like crazy, then stopped after the rain. The bite started back this afternoon though.

I took my girls out today in Stroud. Not one bite! Granted i did not stay long the girls were complaining too much. I know i a little while longer and i could have found them. Maybe next time.
