If fishing on 2nd the most difficult lake in the world (Bankhead) weren't enough, I'm going to try Smith(most difficult) next weekend. I'm wondering if anybody knows a water temp or anything??? After we strike out on crappie, we're going to try the stripers in the lights.

If you're wondering, the Bankhead crappie seem to have vanished... They're not on deep structure and they're not on the banks. They are certainly not in the tree tops either. We've tried everything and can't even find them on a high dollar fish finder. Is it possible that they are all in other people's freezers? Probably... Hope somebody is getting a bite somewhere. I wish I had a better report other than don't do what I did, but I don't. Good luck and I would advise you not to waste your time and gas at Bankhead right now.
