Thread: Oconee 3-11 to 3-16 It was brutal

We went on our annual spring crappie trip to Oconee for the 3rd year in a row...and by far this was the most brutal and tough fishing I have every experienced at Oconee. We had it had all, rain mixed with sleet, cold, heavy winds every day...only fished a few hours on Monday due to the 40 mph wind gusts that afternoon...caught a few fish each day, so it wasn't a total skunk. Water temps were 54* to 57*, heavy stained in the main lake, clear in Richland Creek. Fish were staged in the creek mouths in 15-20 fow, and would bite good until the wind got up and shut the bite down. The fish we caught were pretty decent with quite a few 1lb - 1.5lb and several 2lb+ fish caught. All in all it was a tough week fishing, but it beat working.
