Was hoping to get to prefish Cross Lake some this weekend before the off limits but that's not gonna happen! Either way 2 weeks from the first national event of the year! Can't wait!!

Added a second tell tale.. I'm going to have to get a hot shot to keep all the single women off my boat now! Rooster tail just got way sweeter. Has to have also added like 14hp!

Anyone care to help a fly fisher out with Crappie and bass around central Texas? I have a canoe, and a lot of experience catching everything BUT crappie and white bass. If I want to hit a creek and put some fish on a stringer do I need to wait for some warmer weather? More water in the creeks? I'm assuming they're like lake/sea run trout, that move once the spawn is close, or when the water comes up?

And if it's pre spawn, what habitat should I target? Got a rule of thumb on minimum water depth? Focus on brush? None of the above?

What part of Central TX? I'm not great at it, but I like to sip a Busch Light or 19 and pop a couple sacalait here and there.

Lol at shrimp boy!

Been a long week! Buried the FIL today. Watched that man rot away for 6 years. The last year was horrible! I wouldn’t wish dementia on anyone. Crappie better hide! I get caught up at work there in trouble!

be cooler if you lowered it by 1 hp instead of adding some...
