I almost drove away one morning about a year ago. The water was about the same level. It was solid brown and half of the surrounding woods was floating in the lake! Oh, and it was 28 when we left the ramp. But the crappie were hungry that day. Fished the same spots I had normally been fishing and they were killing it. Don't get discouraged by the level, water color, trash, pressure, temp, etc... My dad and I were feeling like a couple of the most ignorant people on earth when we launched the boat. But on the way home, we were amazed that we actually caught several fish. Remember, fish have always got to eat. It might as well be you that's feeding them!
