Pleasant / Re: 5/5/2026 lake plez

Last post by OneBlade - May 07, 2026, 07:51 AM

Thanks for the report.  What I've heard from Randy's prior reports is you'll have to hit a lot of trees and once you find the 1 or 2 with crappie, you're good to go.  Also, did you try Aqua Fria Arm?  When it's not closed because of eagle/waterfowl closure, always try the arm as I know that's first place I'd try when crappie fishing. 

The bigger ones in the tree might be crappie, but depends if they were moving a lot or pretty still would tell.  The small stuff on top might be baitfish or who knows especially if you saw it that way the entire time.

All Other Lakes / New PB crappie

Last post by Big Bird - May 06, 2026, 03:06 PM

Late to post this but I caught my PB crappie February 22, 2026 at Patagonia lake. It was a female that went 2 pounds 14 ounces and 17 inches.

We caught at least 10 other fish between 2 and 2.5 pounds in the 15-16 inch range.

We found absolute mega schools of crappie. All caught on a slip bobber rig. The interesting thing was they would only eat it under a bobber. Tried just throwing the jig by itself and they wouldn't touch it. Add the slip bobber and they would smash it. Interesting to see the same bait with a different presentation was night and day difference.

Pleasant / 5/5/2026 lake plez

Went to into humbug after work and started looking for trees. Found lots of fish everywhere except in the trees. I got two bites throwing a jig nothing actually hooked up. All the suspended fish didn't even look at my bait so I'm pretty sure they were gizzard shad. The picture I attached is what my graph looked like the whole time. The only place I didn't go where they might be was less than 10 FOW. I'm convinced lake plez sucks, at least for crappie. I suppose it's possible those fish are crappie but they didn't want to eat?

General Discussion / What did FishMan post?

For those questioning what my photo was, those were my "crushed hopes and dreams" corpses of my Yamamoto grubs bit off right before the jig hook...my assumption was they were all 8 pound Walleye.

Thanks for the post Tommy, always a great trip the pictures don't do justice of the size and beauty of that lake.  I miss the tug of that walleye.
