Well as for me USA.... its been tough!!! I've struck out in my usually productive areas but they're shallow. My theory is that the shad just haven't moved up.
Next time I go I won't be shallower than 20ft. That's where I've seen the most bait.

In between boats so I can only go right now when somebody else is going.caught a good mess couple weeks ago. I will have a boat in a couple of weeks hopefully and ill be back on water. But I thought the same thing about being slow on here.

I'm feeling like its an odd yr in my neck of the woods. I talked to a couple of biologists pulling one of them shocker boats yesterday. I asked em if they'd seen any crappie cause I know they can get down to about 10ft .....said they hadn't shocked up the first crappie in 2wks. Mercy!

I am in the same situation as many on here it appears, in that the areas I usually fish just are not producing for me yet. Last year at this time I had a freezer loaded with fish this year not even a bag in the freezer. I hope things pick up or I am going to have to start looking for new areas to try.

It's been a crazy year...., but you guys better watch it because I am hitting the water with a vengeance! I have been a couple times and done pretty good until this last cold spell and it turned off! Will hit it tomorrow if nothing comes up!

Good to hear from you Preach. Wondered where you had been. Look forward to seeing you at the CRCC meeting. I'll bring another one of those cheese cakes MeListen liked so much.

I mostly fish Neely as I don't really like the crowds on Weiss but I did fish Weiss this past Thursday. I also will make a few trips to Guntersville. I went Tuesday to Guntersville with nephew for him to teach me a little more about reading my side imaging as he was practicing for a bass tournament...first time I have fished for green carp in quite a while. I seen several guys pulling slabs out from bridge while we were fishing...like to killed me seeing them crappie sparkle in the sun as they netted them!

Went last Sunday. First time ever spider rigging and caught 3 on jigs. Went today and it was cold and windy. Didn't get a bite and I used minnows too. Everyone I speak with on the water isn't catching much either. They say this has been the slowest fall/winter crappie season. So I don't know

I was doing great until that polar vortex thingamabob came along. Was my best fishing ever for time of year. Been a few time since and has not been as good. This week coming up is when I started last year and it was pretty good so we will see. I'm going Monday going to skip Tuesday (to cold and windy) then try rest of week.

Fellas ive been fishing but boy I aint been catching! lol This whole fall winter pattern has not paid off for me at all! Im not any good at fishing creek ledges or channels but im trying to learn. Fishing structure 10-12ft of water shooting docks and weed lines Is all I have in my arsenal lol Here lately 5 or 6 in a trip is all I can muster. It was good to read all the posts our page was about dead good to hear from MEPreach. Ok well anyway GOOD FISHING TO ALL!!!!
