[bassbum]

hey guys, been readin your forum for about 2 months now and thought it was time i introduce myself.

well a little about my fishing history, a friend from work showed me smallmouth fishing 4 years ago, and its been a passion ever since.most of my fishing is done on the willy above the falls in yhe spring, the mighty columbia over east in the summer(gods country for smallmouth), and back to the willy in the fall.i love smallmouth

my daughter and i went to silver lake today as a scouting trip, it was our first time there. found about 20 people ina canal just hammering the crappie. we live in b attleground so the drive isnt bad at all .hey roger ( EXBASSGUIDE) how does a fella get a copy your special map, would like to learn my way around that place, and know were i was tody. havent cever caught any largemouth, i heard there fun to!!!

Are those canal fisherman in a boat or on the bank?

Welcome Smallielover! Good to have you aboard! :wave: :wave: :wave:

Good to hear that something is biting this late in the year.

[bassbum]

ya i was shocked everyone!! was catching them

[FelonFinder]

Roger's been telling us about this phenomena. I'd like to get in on it, but too far right now!

[FelonFinder]

Did any of the crappie you saw have any size to them?

[bassbum]

for the most part no, a couple i saw might have gone 3/4 to mabey a pound

That canal is crazy with crappie. I fish it year round in a lil 10ft basshunter. The boat houses can be nice as well if you wanna get away from those people.

[bassbum]

even with all the rain weve been having, are the crappie going to still be biting, thinkin about goin up this weekend. the guy i talked too was using a red and green jig, what else works this time of year. and are the boat houses in a diff area.. thanks bro

I've done well in the canals with a little yellow jig.

Lots of rain will hurt but showers are not bad. Try the dead ends in the canals!!!!!
