A buddy and I camped and fished thursday through sunday.
Thursday
8 Crappie, all nice size slabs in 20-25 feet
Friday
11 Crappie, 4-5 nice slabs in 17-23 feet
Saturday
20 Crappie, 2-3 nice slabs in 16-20 feet
Sunday
8 Crappie, 1-2 nice slabs in 20-25 feet
1/8oz roadrunner with john deere 2" kalin grub tipped with a minnow was the ticket. We tried BBC and Bubblegum but only caught a couple on the bubblegum.
Thursday would have been nine but one went into the grinder at the fish cleaning station :lol_hitting:
He says it committed fish suicide, I think too many pre fish cleaning cocktails :laugh:
Great report, thank you.
Sounds like a great weekend. Thanks for the report.
Sounds like another Alamo lover, I'm heading back tomorrow to fish wed - thurs. Nice report. :sign0098:
I was going to go to Alamo for two or three days this week but with the weather I decided to wait till next week. The fishing reports are certainly showing that things are starting to happen. I have not been to Alamo in 20 years probably so it will be a learning experience for sure. I will be taking the wife and a fifth wheel so will be a fun trip regardless. Is there a preference in campgrounds keeping in mind I will want hook ups? I think that limits us to A or B? Thanks for any advice! :sign0144:
"C" has all but sewer... nice sites, and closer to cholla ramp, fish cleaning station, and hot showers... Alamo lake web site has advance reservations, which I recommend...
Have a great time... :headbang:
ya weather is flakey through thursday with a second storm rolling in :(
one note of caution they have had a real problem with thefts at alamo. Seems to cycle on and off, goes for a while with no problems then for quite a while things start getting stolen at night, as far as I know they have never caught these maggots but they will steal fishing gear out of a boat with the people sleeping in there pick up bed right next to them etc. :wtf: so they are sneaky and got guts with everyone armed now a days :o. Just make sure lock up things out of the boat like graphs, fishing rods etc. and chain and lock up generators etc. :banghead:
Thanks for the input, I will look at "C" then. I have looked at the map/campground reservation site but not being familiar with the layout and being mid week I thought that I would forgo the reservation the first time.
Thieves suck, I hope they get caught soon. It is not just Alamo though, they are all over. I will certainly keep things locked.
Hopefully I will have a follow up report.
We went to Lake Novillo in Mexico over Valentines several times in years past. Had incredible crappie fishing there but with the current state of affairs I would not even consider a trip into that part of Mexico.

Now that's funny.
Thanks for the reports.
fish pictures from 9th-12th
Note the hand span is exactly 8" the shoe lenght is 12 and half inches ;D
We stayed in C 25 for the meeting last month. I brought my 5th wheel, and LLL brought his boat. We had enough room to park everything on one site, and room for tables, ect... The bathrooms are a little bit of a walk, but it wasn't to bad. Real nice having the hookups though. Takes about 5 minutes to get to chola ramp. Didn't have any problems with theft, but we covered and locked everything up at night. The dump site is right next to the fish cleaning station on the way out.
Thanks Sparkchaser, "C" sounds pretty popular. We are on schedule to leave for Alamo on Tuesday and come home on Friday. Hope the weather turns favorable and the fronts get through here. That snow in the high country could bring some cold inflows into Alamo and slow things down a bit? Regardless, it will be good to get on the water!
