Even though the Choctawhatchee River is in flood stage my snowbird friend from Kansas and I managed a nice mess of black and black nose crappie yesterday. Kept 24 in the 10.5 to 12.5 inch range and a fat warmouth. We took a small river off the main big river and went up a backwater lake and found some decently clear water. Surface temp was 62 degrees and the fish were scattered. A few had small amounts of roe....nothing like what is showing up at Talquin. All caught with minnows.

The river has been in flood stage for a while and keeps going up and down depending on the heavy rains from the west. Have another front moving through tonight with more rain and dropping temperatures.
