Crappies Fishing

Ole Hubbard producing some nice slabs this year I’ve been going around to spot to spot and been noticing a lot of my spots catfish have overturned with no crappie on site. Deeper has been in my favor for decent size and lbs. Afternoon more then morning￼ best bite. Jigs more then minnows. Crappie nibble of your choice also notice Bobby Garland Crappie Baits put out some very nice scented jigs lovem! 
We made out with some nice slabs this morning was a little slow at first then it picked up. Beautiful and calm day today love days like this. Most of these bigger slabs will be 38ft and most of your smaller ones like 10-14 should be up in the creeks. 
Book with us and see you for a white bass blast!
