Roosevelt 3-16-15

[bunhead]

Fished Roosevelt Sunday and Monday mornings from sunup until about noon.  We concentrated on the East end of the lake both days and it was slow.  4 crappie and 4 bass each day.  Crappies were huge though (I'll try to post a photo).  Caught them in 15-20 ft. of water and they were holding around 10 ft.  Water is a bit murky so I was unable to see if beds were present. BUT, while trolling cranks for bass back to the ramp at Windy Hill we passed Grapevine ramp (which is open if you want to make the hellish climb to park your truck) and there they were. The graph was COVERED with fish icons.  It was after noon by then and we couldn't get them to bite.  They are so close to the ramp this would be a great place to night fish with a light.

Great first post and report, bunhead! Thanks for sharing.

A very encouraging report from Roosevelt!  Thanks for the post.  When you said Grapevine ramp is "open" - do you mean the ramp is in the water?

That is a monster! I hope to see some like that at Spring Crappie Fest!

Nice work, Rosey is a tough lake.  I may have to give it shot on Saturday.

Grapevine is in the water and open to launch but you have to park your truck way up the hill.  Sorry, I didn't notice the water temp.
