I know what you mean ezgo. I went below meldahl this evening and you cant make a cast cuz of all the drift. River looks great except for the floating forest. I stopped by locust ck. on the way back by the bridge, I couldnt get over the amount of shad up on the banks. I only walked about 20 yards and every inch had really small minnows scattering and there were four or five nice balls of bigger shad so I garuntee the crappie are in there.
