The crappie were biting consistently at Toledo Bend




“They’re staging up to make their move in the wintertime before the spawn next spring feeding real hard on shad, and they’re very fat.” Tim Bye of Luling said his group wrapped up with 155 crappie — which equated to a whopping 49 pounds of fillets. “We were on the back side of the moon phase this week, and it looked like bigger fish were biting in the afternoon for me,” he said. “I had some really nice fish this week. I cleaned a lot of fish in the 1 ½- to 1 ¾-range.”

Bye said he would focus on brush piles, or on pilings at the Pendleton or Lanan Bridges in about 20 feet of water.
