MWhite,I am bullsprig on the fife. Burnt Cane is still high and muddy.It was good for a couple of years but IMHO when the water got up in 2008-2009 it changed it.I was used to catching 200 a day with 40-50 pretty good crappie. I think they added some to the runout so it stays higher. Also never got as clear last year. We caught some nice ones but the deep cover where I would catch 25 the year before would give up 2-3. Think it will clear up when the rains stop and we will get some slabs. Saw a Guy in Trumann with 20 mounted over 3 pounds out of BC. A couple of bass about 9 too. 13 pounder was caught on a tourney last year. A bit of advice--the clearest water is usually right at the ramp.

yeah, i'm pretty familar with the lake.. i just have not been this year, and i know the st. francis was in it a few weeks / days ago.. i have a touney there sat. and am not going to prefish.. just kinda wanted a heads up on water situation before finding out at first light on Sat..

thanks for the help / info bro..

the bass fish will bite in muddy water.. i won a touney there last year with 18+ lbs on best five fish and you could see 4 inches at best.. i've seen two 8 pounders come out of the lake..
