Crowder/Rock Creek area 3/18 water temp was 57 degrees late into the afternoon..another 5 to 7 degrees over then next few days/weeks will be the ticket..never found a fish in anything above 8' and only a few that shallow..ok 1...but hitting the 12' to 14' depth got em..well had 14 nice 1's 1 just over 2lbs. So yes its just around the corner..saw many fisherman working the banks with minnows and jigs but none catching..but i guess its not all about eatin good..its about enjoying the time on the water..talked to every boat i encountered being the good ole boy i am and from hearing the samething from all it was a better bite last wednesday..i personally didnt think the bite was bad today..had around 20 dinks so had a pretty good day..
