Put in at bantam ramp thanks to regatta practice going on this am. They think they own the whole lake. Crappie fished from 8:30-10:30 before all the rain hit. Caught 25 crappie with 5 keepers. Mostly on jigs. Lake was about 1' above summer pool and the prettiest green glow to it...you know what I mean. Had a blast while it lasted. The rowers were all the down by the bantam ramp, with jet skis buzzing around them before the idle zone.:fish

Went Friday got on lake late, 10-3:30. Caught 30 only 4 keepers. Water dingy, still some green algae and 80 degrees, fished near river end of lake. Got to get better!!

Thanks for the report. I don't see many reports out of EF lately. If you don't mine me asking, what is a keeper to you? Do you keep anything over 9"? Or is your keeper more like mine - 10" and up since I'm too lazy to clean a bunch of 9s
30 is a good number to make for a decent day. But 4 keepers out of 30 is a pretty low ratio but then again it's the heat of summer. I seem to catch a lot of smaller ones this time of year, particular in the coves.

My keepers are 10" or bigger. I won't clean them unless I have 7 or more. Keepers are hard to come by in July and August. Most of my fish have been on main lake in channel bends.

I am going to give it a try before end of September. I always did well trolling double-minnow rigs out in the main lake this time of year.
