Thread: Spring cold fronts

Well Happy Birthday CW. Catch a bunch.

Thanks to all who replied to this thread and who messaged me. I don't think I saw 50 degrees the time I was there. The weather was miserable and the fishing was slow but we did manage to catch a few. In fact, I was probably more proud of the 4 keepers we boated in the wind, rain, hail, and snow flurries Friday evening than I have ever been on a perfect day when I killed them. Saturday was cold, but sunny and not as windy as Friday, so it was much more pleasant, though the fishing was still slow for us and those I talked to. In the end we only took 8 crappie home (not many for a 900-mile round trip) but I had a good time on the water. I'm not sure how helpful my report will be to others, since 8 fish isn't much of a pattern, but all of the fish we caught were on or near the bottom in about 12'. A dark grub fished slowly along the bottom outperformed minnows and other baits for us. Good luck to all, and thanks again!
