Thump if you ever want to fish for reds and specks and can make it my way you have an open invitation. I drove through Lake Jackson when I was headed to SLP. Bill you ever want to go just hit me up.

That’s awful nice of you sir, I appreciate the invitation I’ve never caught a Red or a Speck but I’ve always wanted to.. My salt water trips have always been a hundred miles out. Those kind of trips can be incredible. I’ve only been offshore like that in Mexico and where I’ve been we didn’t have to run out that far at that. I do want to do a bill fish trip at some point.

Man today was the roughest water I’ve ever been out in on a lake! Like freaking offshore conditions. Had a good time though and brought home 11 to clean and threw back about 40. Sandies, crappie, and this 19” hybrid.

Nice haul. Looks as if there was a little tint in the water near the bank. I would have called it ," near the shore," in salt water.

Took the boat out for about 2.5 hours. Found fish in 1’-2’ of water. Brought home a mixed bag of 66 fish.

I like my crappie fried. Minnows or jigs? We started off with jigs and Road Runners and caught about 25% on those. Then the wind got to whippin pretty good so I picked up a bait I have been building for a couple of years now and started catching them one right after another. Tied one on for Dad and he started whackin them too. Broke off a nice Blue Cat as well when my line got wrapped around his fins. Its very rare that i use minnows. Nothing against using them, I just feel I can catch just as many with artificial. Funny thing is I had no intention of really fishing today. I just wanted to run the boat around and check a few spots. Told Dad we might be there an hour and thats it. Wasnt my fault the fish were at the first spot I looked.

The only thing better than slaying the fish, is slaying the fish with your Dad. Some of the best memories ever. Enjoy Sir.

Most of the bass in the spots where I fish are post-spawn. Try topwaters for some real fun.

Top waters for bass? I had no idea. I am the worlds worst bass fisherman haha. I get hung up and catch sticks on 10:1 casts!

10-20 where I'm going.
You can't rule out windy or wet days in the Spring in Texas. If you do, you'll never go fishing.
Especially if you go just once a week like I do. The morning should not be too bad. I plan to give it a shot, but I will launch in a wind protected ramp, and I'll stay close to the ramp. Do you think you will be able to catch as many as mohunter? 10-20 where I'm going.

Do you think you will be able to catch as many as mohunter? Sure he will, he has Livescope, he’ll catch more quicker than me and they’ll all be bigger than mine, right. It’s all about the Livescope! From what I hear, all you have to do is turn it on and the fish just jump in the boat... Pardon my stuttering. I must admit those were some pretty good size filets he fried up. Can you catch good sized ones without a Livescope? LOL. I just like trolling Guy about his crappie fishing. He is going to have to get himself another freezer.

Mohunter just got a livescope, so he really can’t troll me for having one any more. I knew he would get eventually get one, you can only fight the technology so long. You will not find any pro crappie fishermen without one, the pros were the first to use them.

This was my set-up back in 2018, maybe I should go back to this, then I can troll mohunter for having a livescope lol. This was my catch that day, I didn't catch limits, but enough for dinner. I used that one little screen for maps, downscan and 3d sonar. To find the fish, I would do split screen maps/down scan, I see something, I marketed it, circle back and fished it. The quality of the downscan images really on par with livescope..The problem with downscan, by the time you go back to fish it, throw buoy, drop your jig, the fish could be gone. If you are not catching them, you don't know if they are gone or if they are just not biting. I would try and use 3d sonar to see the "live" fish, but that does not work good with crappie. That is where livescope shines. Fishing stripers and whitebass, 3d sonar works fine, you see a bunch of red below you know they are there, you don't need livescope. A lot of pro striper fisherman do not use livescope, not the case tho for crappie. Last season I was really going after limits, that will not be the case this year. I just enjoy getting out on the water with my dog, umbrella, coffee, relax and put a few in the cooler. This season I do want to catch some big ones on Fork.

Don't act like you looked at those pics and can tell it is Lavon, I told you before I fish Lavon. It's 20 minutes from my house, great for catching a bunch of small ones.
