Spawnin Crappie and a Surprise Largemouth

Yes it's been forever since I've written anything here. What can I say? Hefner is a cruel cruel mistress. It beat us down so many times with skunked trips, that I lost all interest in writing about it.

However, today and just more recently in general, it has been showing some promise. A few early spring Largemouths and the occasional small walleye have been the norm. Today the crappie were in the shallows. I was using a new crappie jig that sinks horizontally. I think it's made by "Crappie Magnet." This same jig caught a keeper sized catfish way up in the south end shallows.

All the crappie were babies. Hardly enough for even a small appetizer. We took off to another spot where the wind was blowing right into the point. A quick couple casts with a shad colored 6-7 ft. diving crank bait and I managed to hang a nice 1.5-2lb. bass.

All in all a good day! Look for more news on Lake Hefner as we continue to try to crack its secrets.
