The bite was very slight, and you couldn't catch more than one fish from a spot unless you let it sit then came back in about 10 minutes. Probably marked 10x as many fish as in the past couple weeks, though. We fished 1/16 oz jig heads and w/curly tails. Color didn't seem to make any difference, but we stick to "natural" colors for the most part.

Give it a couple weeks and it will probably be on fire for the next month or so.

On another note, compared to last year, there are 4x as many boats on the water (bass fisherman mostly), especially during the week. Last year, we fished on week days and had any ramp we went to, to ourselves. This year, every day we go it looks like a weekend. Today, we were literally in/around about 25 other boats the whole day, and they don't mind pulling right in front of you and cutting you off, or blasting right through where you're trolling with the big motor wide open. It's disgusting to watch some of these ahole wannabes who are Bass Master champions in their own minds.

The worst thing to happen to fishing in this area was the a.ss masters .

We fished 9 hours today and caught 15. All but two were on minnows. We also caught 10 catfish that we kept 5. The wind was not friendly today.

Guess the masters attracted more KVD wannabes

Hit the water at Brown's Creek about noon today and fished until 6:30. Caught 1 white crappie and a big perch in the first 30 mins while long-lining, then nothing for 3 hours. Water temp was 56 degrees. Tried to go to other side of causeway and found water temp was 61 degrees, but the whole place was whitecapped from the wind. Went and fished boat houses out of the wind and caught a couple decent bass. Finally sun popped out and wind layed down a little bit and we rode around until we found 60 degree water again and started fishing boat houses/docks again. Just like 2 days ago, we could catch one fish, then have to leave and come back in 10 minutes and could catch another. Ended up with 6 more really nice black crappie before having to leave.......all males though. Bite is still very subtle, and haven't gotten a single bite while the jig is on the drop; all bites come very close to the boat while reeling. I look forward to the day, actually fantasize about the day, when I can fish brown's creek and there is no wind. Also looking forward to the bite getting fully turned on and the water level getting back up, but the signs are starting to get better by the day. Too bad the weather is crap again for the next several days. BTW, most productive was 1/16 oz white jig w/monkey milk and w/blue/silver.

Haven't got to go this week. But everyone I've talked to, haven't caught many. Just three or four. These guys are great crappie fisherman. They feel like I do.when things get right crappie will have laid out and be gone.Maybe we need a down year to get the number up.Bass eat pretty good.Be safe.
