So we just got back from San Carlos - what a great evening/night on the water! Not much boat traffic for a holiday weekend & the wind was calm.Got there around 5:30pm and spent a few hours green carp fishing. I haven't fished much for bass there and I guess it shows - NADA even on the fairy wand. Threw a lot of topwater as the sun set without so much as a passing glance.The Crappie bite, however, was another story. We set up shop near the damn on the south shore line along the cliffs in about 60' of water. Set out the lights and it seemed as though we had shad circling almost immediately. All night we had what seemed like tons of shad circling the boat. Fished from sunset until 1:30am and of the 25-30 we caught, brought home 15 of the better ones. Only a couple of those were of the size were are accustom to for a San Carlos Crappie. A lot of smaller ones that had little color (no black spots) on their sides.We were using Slab Daddys tipped with a minnow fishing between 10 to 15 feet deep. One pole with a Slab Daddy under a slip bobber and the other pole without a bobber. Seemed as though the slip bobber did better than the pole without a bobber. Winning color was a 1/16oz Electric Chicken.LLL
