On the Crappie.com home page there is an artical about fll patterns. It says to consintrate on where the bait fish are. Well that's gonna cover a lot ground. My gosh, they are everywhere you look. In the bays & in the main lake. Hard to compete with the real thing.

Lake is fall'n fast too. Got to the ramp yesterday & MAN! Called a buddy & told him I was fix'n to launch my boat but after look'n at the water level I thought I'd just drive my truck out to my spots!

Saw a guy yesterday knock the lower unit off his motor while I was jump'n, wave'n, and yell'n from the campground for him to stop. After he hit he raised the motor up & it wasn't pretty! Looked at me & just shook his head and said "that was stupid"! Big motor & big bucks. Out of state tags. Hope he wasn't practicing for the tourny this week.

I think the problem with the fish'n is due to a combination of factors. Rapid falling lake, big cold front, abundant food source, and my lack of ability to focus on the fish. I've had a lot on my plate lately & haven't really done my homework before I went fish'n. Hit'n the lake without a game plan. That's a BIG no no for me! I gotta get my head back in the game & off other things. Heck it might just be that I can't catch fish anymore.

The next couple of days ar gonna be kinda sorry for fish'n but good for studying! If things change I'll let yall know.
