I was suprised that the water temp was only 68-69 degrees. It was very windy and I had to hunt for places to try and fish mostly out of the wind. I ended up with 30 and kept 21. Could not get pic to upload, sorry.

Roger, Will you share a little information. Were crappie in coves and creeks or on river channel? How deep ? Minnows or Jigs ?

[GCD]

I don't mind sharing a bit of info Pops, yesterday the Crappie on Neely were 1/3 the way up a creek from the mouth on a flat from 6-8' deep hitting longline trolled jigs pulled at .8-1.0 mph... anything faster and the little Stripes would be all over ya, and they'd still hit it going slow too!

The chilly nights, high winds, and rain last weekend have cooled the water off by 6-8*F.

Last weekend, I had success fishing small coves that were sheilded from the wind longlining in 6 - 8 ft of water going 1.1 mph. 1/16 oz. jig with black and chart. hot grub. Also, pushing minnows around docks and fishing minnows under docks with slip float worked good as long as the dock had at least 6 ft of water under it. Caught about 30 with only 15 being keepers.

To answer Pop's question==Yes:rolleyes:
