Man, talk about bad luck! You are gonna be hit'n them right at the tail end of a pretty good cold front, Blue Bird sky, & windy conditions (call'n for 30+ on the 10th). Sorry buddy

On the bright side, the lake is pretty stable at around 355 and change. Water color is great & the water temp. is in the mid 50's in the bays. That should help a little.

That shallow bite is gonna be tuff. I would concentrate on the Whites in 10' to 14'. They haven't moved up as shallow as the Blacks & may not be as affected by the front. Check the tops of the brush piles cause the Blacks may back off the banks & suspend over a little deeper water.

The colors that I've had the best luck on lately are the Bobby Garland Monkey Milk and MoGlow Outlaw on a 1/8 or 3/32 oz jig (depending on the wind). 1/16 & 1/32 are gonna be hard to stay in contact with in high winds.

The keeper bite has been get'n better but you'll have to weed thru a ton of shorty's. Follow that 10" size limit close! We had the CO at our crappie.com shindig last week & they are step'n up enforcement this fall. Pretty expensive meat from what I gathered. A friend & I were out the other day & got checked twice. Once in the morning & later on that day! First time that has ever happened to me & I've been fish'n Ky. Lake for over 45 yrs.

Stay off that main lake in high north winds!

I hope yall have a great time & catch a lot of fish. Be SAFE! Thumbs Up
