I kept 7 good keepers in that wind today. The water temps dropped as much as 10 degrees in some spots. They had pulled out to the edge of creek channels. I did catch some males that had turned dark. They should pick up this week if the weather forecast is true.:cool:
The surface temps sure did bottom out. Were you fishing morning or afternoon?
And, you're right about the weather forecast for the week. The crappie bite should be very good.
I fished mid day and plan on going tomarrow if the wind will die down. Man Ceb these Crappie should be mighty close to a run for the banks soon. :D
Best of luck! Keep your crappie friends up in NWA informed on what's going on. We appreciate it! MM
Minnowman , Talked with an older couple that trolled minnows in this wind today. They fished about 8 till 2 today and kept 6 nice slabs with the biggest at 1 & 3/4 lbs.:D
Wow...bet they did...I normally don't troll minnows, but maybe I should try it again soon! You know? :D MM
The same old folks were out today and said they had about 6 fish again. I kept 13 with one at 2lbs all on jigs. They said they had one bigger. That wind was a killer.
I kept a limit today. The wind started out OK and then it got rough.:( The water temps around 67 ,but fish are 10' deep.:confused: They should move up soon. But the invasion has started ,campers and boats rolling into the campground.:eek:
"invasion" now thats funny.Quote:

Wow, a nice pile of crappie there.
Nice ones! DA*$!@, I am stuck at home this weekend working my weekend oncall shift (aka house arrest:D )
Those are one nice bunch of Crappie. The wind and the zillion boats on the lake are really bad for fishing. :( We started out catching a few yesterday till the wind and waves kept our jigs hung up. The water in some places past 69 yesterday. Did you have fun in the wind and waves Slabbandit ?:rolleyes:
NICE fish! Looks like the weather being uncooperative down south is not putting anyone out of luck....nice mess of fish! MM
Today the water temp was 68 in the coves . But the fish are out in the main lake @ 10'. ?:confused: I thought they should be in the shallows with those temps ? I kept 19 this morning in the wind as usual.:rolleyes: Only difference today was Black/chartruse jig.:D Slabbandit and his buddy were out in the main lake fighting the wind with the rest of us.
Quantity and Quality.
Waves were terrible today! Runnin' the trolling motor and lookin' at the gps almost made me sea sick!:eek:
This afternoon was a lot nicer. Kept 14 in a couple of hours including these 2lbers!
