Got on the water around 1200, water temp 42, water clarity was poor. Headed to Indian creek, found crappie hanging on the edge of the points. But only was able to hook up on one 9 inch before the winds starting picking. I should have been on the water earlier. Attachment 328723

At least you got out and tried! My last couple of trips have been less than stellar!
Good job! I zero'd yesterday.
It will pick up soon, February and March are prime time on Douglas for Big Slabs.

Mid April can be a boom or a bust depending on weather. Our average last frost date for this area is April 15th. Last year on April 16th we had a skiff of snow and some cold weather. Attachment 328851Quote:

You will see the spider riggers and long liners in the mouths of the large creeks picking off pre and post spawn fish. Douglas can get very crowded that time of year because the Bass guys are also doing their thing. It is a long lake so the bite can be different depending on which end you fish but Mid April will be an excellent time to come down and fish.
