crappie in the channel and channel edges, some on nearby flats. water 51-52 degrees. water still a bit muddy. found eggs in nearly all of them. still chilly at night.

Ok about how deep of water? They doing better on minnows or jigs?

mostly 10 feet deep in 20ft, or more of water. caught a few in 13, 14 feet. longlined jigs two days. didn't use minnows. talked to severals guys sitting fishing minnows who said it was slow. saw a bunch of boats fishing minnows out from the mouth of harvey mill creek in the channel.

THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE DOING TWO WEEKS AGO SO THE COOL NIGHTS HAVE KEPT THEM ABOUT THE SAME.

Ok thanks for the info

Any boats on the flats and channels running from Freemans to Blounts? Seems like all this cold weather they should be there. But than again, it changes from year to year at times.

almost none. they were there earlier in the year, but i believe that big 9-10 rain we had back, in what december, and then another 3 inch rain changed things.
and, the cool weather and muddy water has slowed things down. water is still only 51-52 degrees. pattern definitely different than last year, so far.

Ill be down all next week. Can you maybe un-muddy the lake and increase the water temp for me? Thanks.
