I'm a very inexperienced crappie fisherman and just keep reading report after report about how tough the fishing has been this spring on KY lake (from the top to the bottom). I know the weather has played a major factor in the spring fishing. It seems everytime someone gets a day off to chase the ole slabs you either have 20+ winds, water dropping 1/2 foot a day, muddy muddy water, rain all day...seems it's been something 90% of the time.

So what are you thoughts? Are the fish there, but on lock down due to the weather?
Are we just in a poor year due to a bad spawn several years ago? With the low numbers of fish this year...could this be better for us in the future since nobody's catching fish during the spawn?

Thanks in advance
