How long does the bite generally last? It's been 15+ years since I've been crappie fishing and this is making me very tempted. I'm just not sure if I can make it happen for another week.

If it’s not going you could always hit Alamo

That's not a bad idea. I have to run to Thatcher though so I was hoping to hit sc on the way.

There's always a good night bite there . Even late in the summer. As long as they keep water in it. . there's a cove near the dam area that is really good at night. And the river end is pretty good too.

I won't know until tomorrow. Going Friday thru Monday. I will post a report then. . I have a empty front seat on Friday and Saturday. If your up there or if anyone else is and wants to fill it . Hit me up and I will find a way to make it work. My boat ain't no Cadillac. Just something that floats and gets you to point Ato B... It is better then being stuck on the bank. Sometimes 😆

Ill be down turkey hunting, if not hit Roosevelt on the way home.

Thank you.  I started fishing at 5:30 am this morning. Second cast on a  ivory colored Rio Rico and fish on.A really fat 4 pound large mouth. Caught 3 more on top water all around 2.5 to 3. Then switched to jerk bait. A black and gold Rouge.and never put it down again. Fished for Bass until 1:30. While all the time dragging a minnow along. Nothing on the minnows. Ended up catching 7 more on the jerk bait. Biggest looked like a watermelon. Man the bass are fat there. Big giant belly and lots of girth. The wind got up so got tired of fighting it. And headed to my crappie cove. From 1:45 to 4:30 I caught 30 crappie . Brought 25 to  fillet and just finished. . What a awesome day. Tomorrow will be even better for the bass. .now that I kind a know what the want. ANYTHING That looks or reacts like a minnow or shad. I did catch 4 on a bobber too. Biggest crappie was 2.7 bass caught on ultra light rod with bobber and minnow. 5.8

You did better than we did on the crappie. Marking fish everywhere but had issues getting them to bite. Guess we are pretty rusty. I think we ended up with only 9 or so between the 4 of us. Must not have been in the right area. Beautiful day on the lake.  Caught some nice bass, a couple of catfish (which shocked me) and 1 carp 😂. Seems I have some more lessons needed on the crappie.

I tried everything I could up until 1:30 to get a crappie bite. Only one on a jerk bait. Once I finally just anchored and just sat with a bobber and a minnow. The bite was on. Fish after fish. At 4:30 when I left . The bite was so good ,I probably could have caught 30 or 40 more. If I had more minnows. I took 6 dozen. And used everyone of them.

I was near the dam. Where i was anchored, a person could actually walk up to, and camp there. Or bank fish. It would be a little hike down to the water . But do able.  I have always caught fish in that cove. Biggest bass I have ever seen my Dad caught there. A 13.11 caught on top water.

Glad to hear everyone having a good time at San Carlos. Don't burn yourself out at one lake, a little birdie told me the big bass are biting at Talkalai and we just stocked Point of Pines and Seneca Lakes with some good looking trout the last two days.

Talkalai is my favorite. For big bass. They love the soft creature baits there. And frogs on top water . Giant fish in there. 

Point of the pines is absolutely a beautiful drive into and beautiful lake. Elk,turkey and a occasional bear are common to see. My great grandpa was married to a lady named Sue Begay. She was from there. And all threw the late fifty's and thru the sixty's my grandpa spent most his time up there. I've been all over the San Carlos reservation. And have always came back with great memory's. My Dad still says he's going to find the biggest ugliest woman up there and marry her. That away no one else will want her and he can move in and live happy on the Rez. And hunt and fish daily. I keep reminding him this isn't the 1800s. My family has definitely reaped the rewards over the years from the San Carlos reservation. Many elk hunts,bear hunts and always a blast up by the point of pines for predators. Coyotes everywhere the wild horse are.
