Woke up Saturday and saw they'd changed the forecast again. This time for the better. Hardly any wind. So as a last minute decision, I decided to go down and try Coal Creek since I didn't want to fight all the pleasure boaters at the "real" boat ramps. So me and my Daughter headed South for an afternoon chasing the Crappies.

Got there about 11:30 and hit some 6 to 8 ft water along the rip rap. The water was muddy and I didn't hold out much hope, but started bringing in a few dinks. Went on up the creek and started hitting the timber and found the dinks there as well. About 2:30 my Wife called when she got home and informed me she had invited some friends over for dinner because she didn't know I was going fishing. She says that I didn't tell her, but we all know better than that, don't we!

Anyway, ended my trip early just about the time they were going to turn on I think. Boated two 10 inchers while I was on the phone to her. Headed back to the ramp and turned the twin 10's loose. Just got loaded when that little popcorn shower showed up. Was a good trip in all, even as short as it was.

I was catching the fish in 6 to 8 ft of water on blak/chrt beavertails along the rip rap and about 3 to 6 ft deep in 8 to 10 ft of water around the timber.

If that water clears just a little, it should get hotter than the weather!
