Fishing report, 20 Jan. Now getting ready for the Spring crappie spawning season.
Have to normally wait for the full moon of Feb, sometimes comes a little before. Usually works out to around first week of Feb, but is highly dependent on lake level and water temp.Lake level is good now, water reaches up into the shoreline reed level, but water is too cold.We've had a late and warm Fall, Winter seems to have just gotten here, and looks like we're still going to get at least 2 more weeks of cold.
Crappie are still being found in the deep 13-23 ft winter habitat by the Live Scope fishermen, very few scattered reports of a few males coming up into the shallows, some reports of males working into the shallow lead in areas of piers and boathouses in 6-12 ft .
Same thing with the white bass, also highly dependent on water temp, not so much so on water level. A few reports of males coming up into Kickapoo and Neches, but not a run yet. Jim
