Went to my mom's pond they've been working on for decades today. Sparkly jigs in blue, and red trim with gold on clear with bream hook heads below heavier weights a foot up and then the float set at about 2 feet amongst a downed tree in 7 feet of clear pond water.
Got a dozen black and white crappie between 3/4 lb and a little over 2. A few bass. Big one was 3.5 on 6lb mono on micro rig. Super fun stuff for a couple hours. I see on the groups I'm in people are tearing them up. I did that from the bank.
Get out there baws. It's on.

Never figured it had actually worked. When we first got that place I was throwing bass on the shore by the thousands trying to get that under control. We had the biggest coons on earth for years. The crappie were in there but there was no evidence of small ones. Just huge ones we kept throwing back. I don't know all the steps they took but now there's serious bass in there and apparently a shitload of good sized crappie. Though I have yet to catch a catfish or bream in there.

Bass won’t eat crappie once they are past a certain (relatively small) size. You’ll have to keep tabs on populations as you go, crappie spawn first and often gobble up the bass and bream fry when they spawn later.

January through this part of February is generally my worst period for them. Not on the trees yet, but seem to have left the piles I know of. Soon.

It's also time for the White Bass run. I never heard of them when I lived in Baton Rouge, but here in Texas they are a blast to catch this time of year.
They are like salmon in that they spend most of their lives in lakes, but swim back up tributaries to where they were born when it's time to spawn. I've got a creek that feeds in to a major lake here in SE TX and both times I've fished for white bass there this time of year it's been super productive.
The creek has a shallow section where the bottom is large rocks and clay that make shoals that the fish can't get beyond if the water is low. They will stack up there against the shoals in the hundreds. I put my kayak in under a bridge about a mile upstream of the shoals and paddle down. Super easy trip.
They like to hit white beetlespins and chrome rattletraps. Last year my buddy and I lost count. We each took home 10 big ones and released more than 30 each.
have any of you guys fished for them?
Also, they are good eating. Much better than black bass (large mouth)

I love catching those things on the sabine when they're going off. Big fun.
