Buddy and I had a decent season on the lake. Crappie got better as the season progressed in to Sept. In Sep the lake was lowered, as usual, for maintenance and shoreline cleanup. Fishing for the big crappie picks up at that time. Big Crappie on LaCamas are 10" to 12". However, had one up to the boat that would have gone about 15" annnd Lost it. Did well this season with Trout Magnet 1/64th jig head and Southern Pro Plastic Baits. We seem to be noticing more and more people hauling out buckets of live Crappie to use for Sturgeon bait. Too bad.
