I was Bass fishin at Hyco yesterday an ran across a school of crappie in 22fow, relatin to a big stump. stopped an cast a jig, caught over 20 on strait casts! wound up with 38 an kept 20 from 10-13 inches. they were 10-15ft down. also caught 25 LMB up to 3 lbs! Really nice afternoon on the water!
WTG KEITH,SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD DAY,IS THAT A HEATED LAKE
Gene, yes it is. the water temp was from 50-55 every where I fished. Really lucky to have this lake so close when the rest of the lakes around here are froze! caught the bass on crankbaits an jigs, and the crappie were hittin my 3/32oz bucktail swimmin it over their heads! I had hopes of gettin back down there tomorow, but its snowin like crazy here this mornin!
That crappie school was the same place I left them Sun! Caught 62 there yesterday! and 18 LMB. Looks like we gonna have that warmin spell we all been waitin for this wk!
WAS WANTING TO GO FISHNG YESTERDAY BUT FRIEND COULD NOT GO,HOW IS BUGGS DOING OR HAVE U BEEN LATELY
Sounds like a great day, thanks for the report!

annual lake permit is $50. a great lake to fish in the winter as the water temp is usually over 50* all winter, so ya have some active fish that are usually willin to bite! I've caught crappie up to 2.5 lbs, LMB over 10 lbs, an whitebass over 3 lbs, had 150 days on crappie an days we caught over 50 LMB. My favorite lake to fish in the winter when Buggs is froze! Gene, ain't been to Buggs lately, but its lookin like I will be there next wk...60* temps comin!!!
