All Other Lakes / Re: Saguaro August 28 2025
Last post by FishMan - September 02, 2025, 08:21 PMI've uploaded the Game and Fish files, they are great and very accurate. I have them both on my Garmin and Hummingbird. But love hearing everyone's history. The only 2 crappie I've ever caught there were both while bed fishing for bass and having a male crappie protecting the bed along with a male bass.

Last post by Onetime - September 02, 2025, 09:43 AMCool beans,
That map is from 2021-2022. AZGFD also has (Habitat location GPS enabled files) too. Never used them before but could have more updated info.
Also, found tree piles along the west bank between the dam and marina. Think they were something like 30' out and 20' down. Never found crappie on them when I went by, but they are there still in a Christmas tree shape.

Last post by OneBlade - August 31, 2025, 01:59 PMAnd they added an Art Chamberlin Memorial Cup for Oct 11th at Roosevelt Lake. I asked Tracy and he said it would be a bass-only tournament although crappie caught in that tournament count as goon fish.

Last post by OneBlade - August 29, 2025, 08:54 AMI've updated the LTF schedule with updated dates plus looks like March 28th they'll have a crappie division tournament at Alamo Lake, coinciding with AZCA Spring Crappie Fest 2026 that same date and location. Similar rules will likely apply as we are doing for BHCC 2025 where you are free to one, both, or even neither tournament if you don't want.
From Tracy at LTF:
We are dedicated to advancing the sport of fishing through tournaments, youth activities, conservation, and educational events while exposing people to God's Great Creation. This allows future generations the opportunity to compete in the sport of fishing and for the individual to expand their fishing experience.
We provide a high return on the anglers' financial investment while running a professional circuit, using state-of-the-art equipment and having knowledgeable & experienced staff.
We strive for high fish release rates, so fish care is one of our top priorities.
Our desire is for all to have fun and have an experience of a lifetime.

All Other Lakes / Saguaro August 28 2025
Last post by FishMan - August 28, 2025, 09:01 PMMy graph kept lying to me...these look like crappie mixed in with bluegill. Turns out they are giant bluegill mixed in with normal bluegill. The big ones all weighed in between 0.90 and 0.98 pounds...just couldn't get one above the 1 pound mark. Many Yellows and Large Mouth also caught...no Catfish this trip. I know this is a crappie page, and trust me, I'm trying to catch them. Feel free to add a comment if and where you have ever caught a crappie at Saguaro.
