Hunting
Firearm season wrapped — picky on bucks; remainder of archery (through Jan 15) fun with woods to yourself; cold helps corn/attractants.
Catfish
Blues should be tearing up — Dec 10 was always Jeff’s big-blue target with Jerry Croft, family, clients. Fish gorge until a shad kill; then lethargic on free food.
Crappie
Getting good in deep clear docks — shade/dark spots. 2" Lucky Bugs on 1/16 oz working best. Colors Toby Keith and Jeff named: Desert Hero (upper/mid lake), Blue Moon, USA, Winter Storm (south end), Dream Walking (purple/pink — Haydn’s winter clear-water favorite). 2" and 2½"; Grove Walmart, fishlucke.com, Fish Lucke Amazon — keep asking dealers.
Paddlefish
Upper lake snagging really good — fish stacking/staging as water cools; guides targeting depth day after day. ODWC running Paddlefish sampling nets (big orange buoys) in front of Jeff’s house — age/growth on a world-class population.
