Lake 5.2' over full pool, very stained up rivers, surface temp 51 F. I put in at Laurel Park, fished Little River area from around 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Checked a lot of brush piles and flooded brush, but no dice, then found some big crappie under docks in 20-15 FOW. Fish were hanging near the surface (looking with Livescope), so I didn't let the jig sink much after a shot before starting a slow retrieve. I pulled some real nice slabs from under a few docks, on black/chart hand-ties and BGBS in licorice-chartreuse-pearl or key lime pie. I kept four over 13" for tacos, including this one I will call my best from Lanier so far. I did lose one at the boat that was VERY big, He was barely hooked, and came unbuttoned as I was reaching for the net. Oh well. At least I found an area with some good-sized fish. When this rain clears out, I'll be going back.
