Who's going to be the first to post in the new year of their 2023 catch? I'll vote for Dartonmav, or it could be one of the many crappie gurus.

You caught the fire out of 'em. What do you do with them yellows? You eat 'em or till 'em into your garden?

Think twice before tilling fish into your garden. I once tilled a bunch of bowfishing catch into my garden. The coons, possums, crows, buzzards - and who knows what else - dug it up.

I caught a 2.5 the other day and a couple right at 2. When I took the boys a few weeks ago we had four between 2-2.3. Those females sure pack the weight on this time of year.

Let me state I am not a crappie fisherman. If I catch one it's just the fish's bad luck, but today I found a few in the top of a couple of trees. Trees were in 78' of water and the tops were in 40 to 50 ft. Smallest weighted 1 lb 10 and the largest was 2 lb 15 oz. I was more than happy. Oh and I caught this ugly bass too.

My buddy took me out today to show me how to live scope crappie. I only caught 5-6 out of this mess, but I did catch the biggest one.

Today was my first day with LiveScope on my boat. It was a learning experience. In addition to the ones pictures below, I caught a couple smaller crappie, 4-5 bream, and 4-5 yellow bass. I watched everyone of them bite on the live scope. Not a bad start! It was cold and icy.

You’ll know when it clicks In your head with that scope. It took me probably 6-8 trips to halfway figure it out. I’ve had it a little over a year and I’m good with it but I’m still learning

Biggest I've seen in this neck of the woods is 20 pounds out of Bull Shoals. The world record is 27.5 pounds caught out of Greers Ferry. A hybrid that big wud rip you a new one for sure. Keep up the good work.

Was looking around for big hybrids and this article says Talbert Caught a 29-pounder over in Bull. Not sure why it wasn't declared the world record. Here's the article: Record Hybrid Bass - Bull Shoals Lake - Explore the Ozarks


Cheers again.....

Oxbow lakes are warming up. At least they were anyway. This colder weather and rain will bring the temps back down.
