Big Sam is approaching 6' over pool as I type this with rain falling and more predicted for tomorrow. It's gone up probably 5' just in May with all this rain here and north of us flowing in. I got out last Friday before this latest week of rain began and it was tough fishing. Couldn't find 'em on brush piles, near stumps or even the bridge pylons. And I had a fishing machine in the boat with me!
Half the boat ramps on the lake are now closed with more closings likely.
Where and how will I find these crappie in all that water?
