Despite a pinched sciatic nerve in my back I went to the lake. Why not? Heck, it's going to hurt about as bad setting on the couch. Since I had to crawl into the house the night it started I didn't want to be somewhere that I didn't have cell service in case something happened. I had a hard time finding anywhere out of the wind or where the water didn't look like chocolate milk until I found this TINY creek/cove and holy cow were the fish STACKED in there. The water temp in the creek was 49.8 and slightly stained. In parts of the TINY creek it was 18 ft deep but, so narrow that I couldn't troll 2 10 foot rods 90* out the side of the boat or they would have got caught on tree limbs. I caught my limit of BIG crappie in no time and they fought so hard that half the time I wasn't sure if I had a big bass or catfish until it surfaced and saw it was just another giant crappie. They liked dark colors better than lighter colors but, they did hit white flies some. I caught them on purple, blood red, dark blue and jet black. The only down side to this spot was all the trees that were down and I lost a TON of flies.

I'll not give my "secret" spots location since it's just a tiny little place and 2 boats couldn't even fit into the place.
