Crappie started yet ?

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?

 

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.

 

Here in kentucky the crappie is starting to bite good.

 

I've caught a couple the last couple of days in the throw net up in the feeder creeks around the Sallisaw Oklahoma area so it's should be starting.

 

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

 

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.

 

if you see us again come by and say hi. I went there yesterday about 6am and didn't wrap up the fishing till about 10 pm. the boys came about noon and we tried another lake (Mc something by stillwater). All togheter we caught about 30. Yesterday evening was best with a couple bigger ones.

 

with all the water around here (eastern) the spawn ain't lookin too promising

 

Any of ya'll fish the house tops down at Texoma?

 

Caught 40 last weekend at a farm pond near Frederick
