I plan to chase Crappie tomorrow, any ideas on backwater areas with clear water? I'm afraid everything will be flooded and muddy!

I'm thinking the same thing, but I'll figure something out!
Madison County Lake?
I gave Buckeye Pond in Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge a try this morning. This the area just North of the Rockhouse dewatering area. This area was also blown out with only inches of visability of only inches and 60 degrees. I did catch a dozen Crappie and a couple Bass but all the Crappie were short except two large fish. The dewatering area is high with water about three feet higher than normal summer draw down. Still glad I went and visited an area I hadn't been to in a while.
I can remember wearing them out back there as a kid. But haven’t fished it in a long time besides for shell cracker about 5-6 years ago.
The water was muddy and too high. The fields had two feet of water in them so the fish could have been anywhere. I usually make one or two trips in there a year in late spring once the water gets inside the canal edges and always do well.
I'll go after them again in a week or two after the water drops a couple feet. All this rain forecast the next week or ten days won't help.
