El Capitan Crappie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dbarnett66 · 03-16-2013, 04:10 PM

I am thinking about going to El Calitan Lake for some crappie tomorrow. I think a few dozen crappie shiners may do the trick. Any tips or tricks to get a few slabs? If anyone is interested, I will be a one man show tomorrow. Feel free to look for me in the chocolate arm. I may move to the north arm if the bite is slow.

That sounds tasty! I always wanted to fish crappie there. Good luck!

Definitely let me know how it goes, Been wanting to go a lot lately. Hopefully after Fred Hall I can hit it.

El Cap is a fun kayak lake. Throw some plastics up tight in the brush while you drift the shiners. Lots of Blue Cats and bass that will take the plastics along with larger crappie.

Today was a scratch. My computer bit the dust in the middle of taxes. So I am on rebuild mode. What a beautiful day to waste.

I have the week of March 25-29th off. I am thinking of going on Wednesday for the entire freakin day.
