[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5671399, member: 20151"] Every time I go in July, all I catch is catfish. They patrol the edges of the grass and readily take minnows, dead or alive. I have come to the conclusion that there is a decree somewhere that “Popcorn is never ever to catch a crappie”. In all honesty, I went once in February, hired a guide for one day. Big 24 ft aluminum boat, full crappie rig, decked out. Never left sight of the boat ramp. Caught 10 using some of those ridiculous 14 foot poles with the very fragile tips. I never touched a fish, I’m convinced they thought it was him fishing not me. He took the fish off, he baited the hook, he threw the line back out. My only job was to raise the rod tip when the floater layed over on its side and swing the fish to him in the back of the boat. After 10 I told him that was about all I could stand. It’s a really beautiful place in the summer and a great catfish destination! I just leave enough prop in the water to move the boat, mostly just cracked above an idle. [/QUOTE]
