Nice Hybrid On A Rat-L-Trap

The water temperature is warming up and the hybrids are moving to shallow water. Many fishermen are throwing Chrome/Black, Red and Red/Chrome Rat-L-Traps in the shallow water once hybrids are seen feeding on shad. Bain and his big smile is pictured with one of his fish. He and his fishing buddy caught 5 hybrids, 2 nice bass and a gou in 8 feet of water in the back of one of the main creeks.

If you have a fish story you want posted, just email the picture and a brief description of the trip to papajohn@lakeconroefishingguides.com and we will post it for you. You can even brag a little bit if you want to tell all your friends to visit the blog and see your catch.

15 3/4 Inch Monster Crappie

The water surface temperature on Sunday morning 03/07/10 had cooled down to 48 degrees in many of the shallow areas holding crappie the day before and many of the crappie in the shallows retreated to deeper water. There were still good catches on the morning bite in shallow water, just much slower than on Saturday.

Wayne Tewksbury didn’t get the word on the water surface temp or the fish being in shallow water and he went to one of his favorite spots in water 15-18 feet deep. He caught close to a limit of crappie and had nice slabs, the biggest being 15 3/4 inches and the other just slightly over 15 inches. Sometimes it pays not to get the word.

With the rains we have had the past few weeks, the lake filling up over pool and the release of water by the SJRA downstream, we have a lot of floating hazards in the water. Loose timber, items on decks that have water come up and cover up the deck, loose bulkhead boards and many other objects will be just under the surface of the water floating down streamand and present a boating hazard to those on the water.

All boaters are reminded to slow down and keep a close eye out for these hazards. Pictured above is a planter box that has drifted from someones dock. When we found the floating planter box, the fisherman with me said I needed to remind fishermen that we usually build crappie habitat by putting the trees under the water.

Crappie have started up real good on the Lake. Click Here to read the current Lake Conroe Fishing Report
