San Carlos Crappie

Recommended Posts

Heard of a few being caught on Saturday. No big numbers I think the most was around 10 with most people having one or two. My dad is going tomorrow and I am going Thursday and Friday. I will post what happens on those days. Lake is still rising.

My dad and uncle went to San Carlos today. They launched at Mohave Point. They said that the water has come up quite a bit since last week. The water is still quite dirty. Water temps were 52 when they got on and 57 when they got off the water. They caught 5 crappie. They said that was better than most of the other boats. They said one boat was catching a few more slow trolling in a tight circle probably over a tree. Everyone was trolling off of San Carlos Point. I will be at the lake on Thursday and I will post another report then. One other note: my uncle tried to buy an annual one pole fishing permit and was told as of last Friday the price changed from $125 plus $5 habitat stamp to $175 plus $5 habitat stamp. He checked both the express stop and circle k and they both said the same thing. Glad I got mine earlier. Just thought I would throw that in for those who are interested.

Thanks for the update on San Carlos. My Dad and I were on Saguro Lake today and we only boated one fish and Pa caught it so it made my day. Here he is with his proud 13" bass. Of course he kept it. That was his super tonight.

 

Dad's 13"bass he had for super tonight.

I bought an annual permit last year but refuse to pay their price this year if they actually went up another $50. Did the daily permits go up as well? I really like fishing San Carlos but they might have just reached my limit that I will pay. Sad that they have to be so money hungry. :(

The daily permits are still the same price and are for 24 hours from the time you buy them. The annuals are getting expensive but for me, as much as I go year round, the annual price still saves me quite a bit of money.

As for the fishing I was there thursday and as the saying goes should have been the day before. It was slow for everyone. Got blowed off the lake at 1 pm. The day before people said the bite was better with everyone catching some fish but no huge numbers, most were in the low teens.

Thanks for the update Brian. I'm sure glad to hear the daily permit hasn't changed. Can't wait to get on the water. :D
