There is only one pattern that always comes to my mind when people want to know where to fish. The best place to try is the water. If you dont get out there and try you will never catch anything. Try in 10-16 foot of water between 4-8 feet deep. obviously the shallower the water the shallower you will catch the fish. Look for good structure that you can actually get your hook into. The way I look at it is if im not getting hung up im fishing in the wrong spot. The fish are biting pretty wierd right now they might be biting in a 2 foot diameter and if you get 2 inches out of it you might not get a bite but if you move over a bit you will pick one up. Tight lines to all and good luck.

I didnt ask you WHERE to fish--I asked you about a pattern. There's a difference. I got the water part figured out. I didnt ask you where you caught them to avoid a smartass response like "in the mouth" or "in the water" Looks like it didnt work.

It doesn't take much...I use a home made one....a flower pot filled with concrete and tie on. Just drop it over the side and tie off. No big deal if lost. Also the brush makes good tie off points and an anchor isn't needed often.

Icdeez, I spent most of my 3dz minnows hauling out crappie just over 9", lol.
Sometimes two at a time on a double rig.
I caught them in a lot of different places and when I had four minnows left I changed spots, like you said maybe 3" that was deeper and caught 2 keepers and then used bits of minnows to catch 4 more 9" ones.
My next trip I will be forewarned and buy plenty of minnows!

Like I was stating there isnt a difinitive pattern to catching crappie. If you fished the creek last season you would understand this. I told you the best scenarios to look for it wasnt a smart *** response. If I had hole to tell you to go catch limit after limit I would believe me just ask SS I have shared a few spots of mine with him. If you dont like my advice dont call it a smart *** remark next time read it a bit closer and you will see what Im talking about.
Chris, I see you started the report for catching crappie at Broken Arrow. This was the report alot of the people in Houston was waiting to hear. While most of us was sitting in a tree stand or box blind Broken Arrow was the place to be. I know my father and I didnt see anything at the lease so now our attention is now sent on coming your way. At least I know my dad will this week and I'm not real sure when I'll get a free day to head that way. Hopefully after the holidays like last year, but keep the reports coming I'll send more people from Houston your way.
Just a side bar anyone who has heard anything about Broken Arrow crappie fishing Chris will give you all the info you need to catch these fish. Now take this info and go out there and enjoy a day of great crappie fishing at Broken Arrow.
See ya soon take it easy Chris.

We are glad to have you here with us Terry. Lookin forward to seeing Titan again but unfortunately we had to put BooBoo down. He had real bad heart worms and he wasnt gonna make it much longer so we had to put him out of his misery. He will be sorely missed.
