Picked off 100+ yesterday before all this rain trashes everything and we go back to high and muddy for a while. Water made it to 46 deg. and about 10” of vis. Best bite came deep, about 18 ft. Looking like lots of unstable water for another week ahead. Boooo

Nice fish..Hate to see the weather change to cooler temps and rain for the next few days. I’m already registering alittle over a inch so far.
Those sure are some nice ones !! If you dont mind me asking did the come from EC ?

Yes. That’s the largest black crappie I’ve caught from there. Other than way back in the 80s, you rarely caught many, but the last few years we keep seeing more of them. Still dominated by white crappie, and there is a big year class of smaller fish now moving through the system (cyclical).Quote:

2” of rain so far from this front.
EC air park reporting 2.42” so far with severe storms reforming later tonight and into tomorrow. Lake is going to be trashed for a week or two. Betting fish scatter and bite becomes almost nonexistent for a while here. Might have to travel to find better water, or just stick with ponds for a bit.
Coon inflow is 1544 cfs with discharge down to 135 cfs., Cat inflow 2297 with discharge at 123, Monroe inflow all most 5,000 cfs, with discharge at 1000 and I bet Corps will shut discharge down as East Fork rises. Water everywhere is unstable again. Get used to muddy water for a while. Early spring fishing is a biochie.
I always seem to do OK at monroe under these types of conditions. Most likely because I know the lake very well. Also, maybe because there is so much underwater structure that the crappie sit on. I have a few waypoint marked for this types of conditions that always seem to produce for me even when the water looks like chocolate milk. at least small ones.
