Hi Folks:
I’m a new member and an old guy just now trying to learn to catch fish. All of a sudden I’ve learned that it is not as easy as I had thought.
I live in the Lake Palestine area of East Texas and I’m trying to learn to catch Crappie and Catfish.

Me and Louis went below lake Houston dam again, only kept 8 cats even though we caught about 30 little ones Tuesday night. Here are a couple of pics, but on a sad note his baby sister passed away today 😢. Any who pray 🙏 his family is devastated, (of course). She had emphysema and a tumor in her throat next to her larynx. Cancer certainly sux, it has got a few people I love recently 
Sending prayers for Louis and family 🙏
Nice haul on the cat's!

Here is the report from the TPW APP:

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 79 degrees; 12.70 feet below pool. White bass fishing has risen and fallen with the weather. Mornings with clouds and wind produce much better than brighter, more calm mornings. The white bass are very focused on the small, young-of-the-year shad. Anglers should be prepared to present lures which imitate these 0.75-1.25 inch shad. The MAL Mini Rig with �¾ ounce weight in front for added distance and sink rates landed numbers of catches. My rule of thumb is if you cannot see the bait the fish are feeding on, assume it is tiny. If you can see the shad jumping out of the water in an attempt to escape, go with a larger presentation. The MAL Heavy is a very close match for these mature shad. White bass have all but discontinued using the lake's bottom, preferring to suspend beneath the suspended baitfish, typically at 15-22 feet below the surface. Downrigging a #12 Pet Spoons now, the smallest available in silver with white feather tail, is putting fish in the boat once fish shut down. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service. Catfish are fair. With spawning in full swing blue catfish under eight pounds can be caught in shallow water around gravel beds using fresh cut bait. Flatheads are good on live bait around points and structure. Channel catfish are getting into the summer pattern and are great around timber using punch baits. Report by Brian Worley, B&S Catfishing. Crappie bite is on fire in timber and brush piles in 8-18 feet of water using jigs. Report by Zach Minnix, Jig N’ Jerk Guide Service.

Just like you said get out often and learn from each trip. Use your electronics and maps and check the fishing report on the TPW app will help also. Good luck and tight lines!🎣

I like your Avatar as well.
Being your handle is Choctaw57 (Like the Casino-Hotel) I figured you would be fishing out of Cigar Boat!
In July they (Drag Boat Association) usually have the boat drag races on the Brazos in Waco. All sorts of speed boats including the Nitro-powered boats!! Check it out if you're around Waco Next month.
Ok, cool boat!
