San Carlos / Re: San Carlos Losing Water Go...

Last post by OneBlade - November 21, 2025, 12:39 PM

it got down to 2500 acre-ft Oct 9th but then must have had some rain because it's back up to 10,000 acre-ft: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/USGS-09469000/#startDT=2025-06-01&endDT=2025-11-21&dataTypeId=continuous-00054-0&showMedian=true&showFieldMeasurements=true

Some of the pictures I saw in the fall were pretty dire, but I never actually saw a fish kill - I don't know what level it would need to get to for that.  Some people did fish it when it was pretty low and claimed poor fishing but the fish have to all be all stacked in there for sure, if they even survived.

Bumping this topic -- Reminder, this Saturday is another LTF crappie fishing event at Roosevelt Lake.  You don't need to have fished prior tournaments, it's always a good time, and you can even win some $$$ or raffle prizes.  And on Sunday if you can help there is a Veteran's tournament they need boaters - if you can help response ASAP.  It's a small commitment to pay back those Veteran's who have or are serving.  For more info, be sure and visit the Let's Talk Fishin' website (https://www.letstalkfishin.com/) and to sign up for helping out on the Veteran's tournament, send an email to letstalkfishin@gmail.com or text/call the tournament director Tracy Purtee at 928-978-3659.

The first Mudshark Marine Arizona Team Crappie Trail tournament in the books! Everyone had a blast and super glad the weather held out for the event. Congrats to Tim Mraz and JT Butler with a first place win with a total weight for 5 fish of 8.41lbs and biggest crappie of 2.15lbs. Second place went to Florin Nesiu with total weight of 7.57lbs and third place went to Randy Howton, Brock Howton, and Gunner Bernard with total weight of 7.48lbs. See screenshots and link in comments for official tournament results and trail summary points/standings.

Also, on Sunday the Marine Arizona Veteran's fishing event went well! The forecast definitely scared a few folks off, and the wind did try its best to slow them down, but they still got everyone on fish.

Cool, thanks for the report.  I hope to get out there after Thanksgiving.  So sounds like water level was ok to launch at yellow cliffs?

Bite was everywhere - from the no wake buoys all the way south to the SB Cove ramp. At the tops of trees, in trees, to big schools between structure points.  However could only get a few per site before having to switch to something else.  Minnows and plastics both worked but livescope was essential.

Posting for Timbo, he is out at Alamo Lake and got his truck stuck in the sand his jack stuck on old Alamo Lake Road on his way back from Wayside. If anybody is out there, here is his GPS location. He does have enough food and so forth, but just figured I would share this for him. 34.181116,-113.467277

November 2025 Crappie Fishing Report

The following up-to-date report was provided by AZ Crappie Sniper Guide Service. If you're interested in a guided trip for crappie contact Randy Howton at 623-640-9193 and randyhowton@yahoo.com.  Randy's guide service was mentioned in Crappie NOW, the biggest online crappie magazine publication in the US.

Alamo Lake
Lake is on fire for catching crappie.  You can find them in schools, roaming as singles & doubles, as well as in trees so bring your casting rod with a jig setup and be ready to cast and catch.  Water temp was 67 degrees in the morning.

Bartlett Lake
Crappie fishing is still great as the trees are loaded. Most fish being caught are in the 12" size range. Bigger crappie can be found moving into shallower water as singles or doubles roaming.

Lake Pleasant
Crappie fishing is good with most crappie being caught in the 10-12" size range.  You will need to hit a lot of trees until you find the tree loaded with crappie where you should be able to catch some and then move on to more trees looking for the trees holding fish.  Water temp was 65 degrees in the morning and up to 72 degrees in the afternoon.

Roosevelt Lake
Lots of crappie in 25-35ft of water on the tops of the AZGFD habitats and trees.  Bigger crappie are moving off of the bottom of the structure and more onto the tops of them.
