Crappie pickerel opener

[Jer]

Like what seemed most boats on Buckhorn yesterday, we gave up on the pickerel bite early and decided to see if the crappie might be a bit more cooperative.

 

They certainly were...3 or 4 different spots throughout the day and we caught countless numbers and lotsa keepers for a fish fry.

 

This was probably the best of the bunch...

 

What a beauty day...

 

I'm sure some people did well for pickerel on the Tri-Lakes, but we just don't seem to have the patience...especially with so many tasty crappie to be had...

Nice. I fished buckhorn many times and have never caught a crappie but know there are tons in there. What feet of water were you fishing?

Great stuff! It's always good to have a back up plan and it paid off for you guys. Congrats!

...anywhere from 3' - 6'...with the bait only 12" - 18" below the float.

Thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try. Last time I was there and we finally decided to target them(This was in June)? We had a mishap and had to leave the lake early!
