Had some time today so I decided to head to the lake. Fishing was real slow. Took about 10 stripe to catch one crappie and I only had 3 of those. Water clarity was 3.5-4' today and color was real good. The fish wanted a chartreuse BG with glitter in it with a red head. All the white patterns blanked today. Bait was thick under the causeways. The fish were gorged full of the shad. Hope this next storm doesn't blow out the lake. Water looked down by about a foot.
