I gave Madison County Lake a try today from 7:30AM till around 1:00PM. Rough day, only caught three Crappie. I never found the fish before the wind got up and it became impossible to spider rig. The weatherman said 4 MPH with gust to 8 MPH. The wind was closer to 10 MPH with gust to 15 MPH. Oh well, I did get to watch a Bald Eagle catch what looked like a 12 to 14 inch bass early in the morning. That alone made it worth the trip. The lake is about five feet low, very clear and 53 degrees.
