Late Evening Report South End: I was late getting to my brush pile arrived around 7:00 am. Flipped a couple of males out of the water around that time. Across the cove, I saw another fisherman drag one to the bank. Myself, not using good judgement; stayed to the last minute as lighting was getting closer. Got a little scared, as I’m sure waving a 10’ graphite fly rod in the air was not a good idea at that time. After the thunder storm past the bite stopped for everyone in the area. The wind changed and was coming out of the east. Scientifically speaking “When the wind is from the east. The fish bite the least.” Cold front moved through and then the crappie moved out. Next question… is when to anticipate the crappie returning to the beach?

Watch out for this: Today while traveling today between McAlister and Atoka on Hwy 69. I counted 12 different police cars on the side of the highway that had people/vehicles pulled over with the red and blue lights turned on. This was about 10:00 am.

Would have posted earlier but have been cleaning and repairing fly reels this afternoon.
