[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2785490, member: 12443"] As a rule i fish twice a week, depending upon conditions. Wind makes it hard for the way i prefer fishing. I like to use a 10’ ultra lite with about 3 or 4’of 6# line hanging below the tip. And either a 1/16 or a 1/24 oz jig with some type of a plastic grub on it. Then i get close to the weed beds and very slowly swim the jig along just a couple feet under the water. Crappies feed up not down, so its best to have the lure above them. Some times i stop and just drop the jig into small openings in the weeds, but thats where the wind can really screw things up with the boat. Last Friday i went to Garcia, i hadnt been there in about a year. I knew the wind would be bad at my normal place, and i knew it would be o k on the south canal from Garcia. Sorta like picking a place to glass when hunting. Be thinking about the sun angle before you go. Might be best to go there later in the day. Anyway the wind wasent an issue, but the hydrilla certainly was. It has really taken over there since id been there last. My trolling motor kept getting fouled in it. Today i went to my normal place, and as usual there was no one there. The lake looked like glass, which is very unusual. But the water level has dropped even more since last week when i was there last. Ive been having launching issues lately due to that, so today i decided to just leave and head out for Blue Cypress instead. There is a road called Blue Cypress road leading back 5 miles to the lake from Rt 60. I hadnt hardly turned off of 60, maybe 1/4 mile and a nice gobbler strutted across the road right in front of me. There was a hen running ahead of him about 25 yards or so. So they are no doubt gathering up their flock of hens at this point. I often see deer on that road also, as there are only a couple of ranches along there and lots of open space to see them. I have seen the buffalo standing in the water at Brahma island, but i didnt know about the other species. Im thinking about heading out there myself for red ears when they are in the lily pads. Ive not been there for that and id like to check it out. This months full moon should be a prime time. If you hear anything about that id like to know. [/QUOTE]
