I hear that is a huge lake also, but it sounds like a dream crappie team in the line up best of luck.

PP, I have not been to Buggs since last of May,but I am sure that their are crappies on the BP that tops out at about 15 feet in Rudds or Eastland,They gets sluggist at biting in middle of day and when I would fish them in hot weather, I found that the easy way to catch them then is to take a bait like BGSS and cut the tail off ,no more than about 3/4 inch and put it on a 1/64 jig head with a #6 or # 8 hook and put a split shot up the line and drop it into the brush and hold it still only move it every 30 to 60 seconds. It sounds crude but I did it many times and the brighter the day the better.I would do it behind guys minnow fishing when they could not get a bite and talk to them at camp. You would think of little fish with that rig but I caught them up to 17 inches and do it at the bridges also, ofcoarse I was using white. Naturally the river is better but is much harder to find spots to fish except the bridge which the best spots are always taken so I do not go there. I have a hand held GPS if you could stop by could use it and it has more spots tyou could fish in a week

I would not recommend coming to Buggs this weekend for fishing. Its lakefest in Clarksville and without a doubt the busiest the lake is all year. If you still come I would stay away from Clarksville with any small boat. I would guess it will be hard to find a place this weekend now.
