Recent info.

Hit B.O last Sat. water temp 54 degrees, all, but 1 dock pulled at marina, fished 4 hours and only found 2 10" specks and 8 under 10". Spent other 4-5hrs. marking spots for ice fishing...If anyone knows of deep water brushpiles and care to share location, that would be great. Lol....I understand if that's classified info.
The fish I found were in 18-21fow and suspended down @ 11ft. Fished main lake points, shallow flats that break sharply into deep water, and what's left of old river channels. Longlined with jigs and trolled small cranks.
Good luck to everyone this winter, even though this (NE) forum is pretty slow. I've got 3 more open water trips planned this fall and then it's time to break out the hard water gear.
As a FYI. I'm planning on speaking with the Crappie Masters director sometime soon about creating a NE chapter, so once again, if anyone out there has interest in kick starting a club don't hold back.

take care
