Thanks for the kind words Kirk...your a class act yourself..then there is ole SANDBAG..he is a hoot...just got to keep him away from the girls now...Ranger

Ranger, I have figured out what I am going to put on the front of Mike's CDC shirt, SANDBAG!

Fished with Danny and Pam Kirkendall today on the South end and it was really good early and like someone turned off a light switch at 11am. Not another bite before we left at 4. Didn't count the fish we had before cleaning them in the light rain but it was a full gallon bag of fillets. Wt today was 61 after it got up to 69 yesterday. Technique was double dippin beavers and wooly bees today...Ranger

Ranger, my report is similar to yours; Tore them up right up til around 11am, then they slowed down to an occasional hit. I also cleaned about a gallon of filets while it was raining. Best color was blue and white slab bandit floating beneath a cork 24 inches.

Fished the South end today with Okie Don and his buddy Jarrod...was pretty tough and the water has dirted up some with about 3" visibilty. Wt was 60 to 61 all day too. We so need some sun. We caught our fish today on different banks than I have been fishing and only kept 23. We caught several dinks today as well. Fish were in 5' to 10' DOW and there was really no pattern. Just had to keep moving and hunting. Morning bite was really off and picked up some in the afternoon....Ranger

Well the forecast for Saturday was partly sunny to sunny with the highs in the 70's. Once again I had to relearn the lesson of never believing what a weatherman (or weather woman) says! I had the pleasure of fishing with Mark (aka Ranger09) yesterday for the first time. Since it was suppose to be in the 70's, I only wore a T-shirt. Man, was I regretting that decision all throughout the day! I don't think the temps got out of the 50's and we had a hard North wind most of the day. Not only that, but the water had muddied up a bit from the cold rain the night before. A tough fishing day to say the least.

But like all good guides, Mark persisted until he found us some active fish. This is where a good Guide shines. It would have been easy for most people to say "Oh well, fishing it tough today, let's go home". But not Mark. We ended the day with 23 and there were some really nice fish in the bunch. You can learn a lot more about Crappie fishing on days like this than you can on days when they're jumping in the boat with ya.

We went home with nearly a gallon bag of fillets. Plus we had a good time. Even if we hadn't caught many fish, it was a hoot being in the same boat with Mark. I look forward to the next trip with him!

Spending the week over at the big E. Did real well yesterday evening, went this morning the fish weren't there! Looked deeper shallower etc. Had lunch went and found some new fish, all still full of eggs, water got up to 66 degrees. Biting really good in the afternoon, can't get family moving quick enough to know about the morning bite.
