With all the Lake Wheeler creeks high and muddy I decided to give Madison County Lake I try today. Fishing was slow, but I managed a few. I kept 8 Crappie and 9 gills, enough for lunch tomorrow. Best bait for the Crappie was a 1/16oz Marabou jig in White with a Chartreuse body and Red head single pole jigging about 10 to 13 feet deep. I found several areas with Crappie stacked up, I just couldn't get them to bite. The 8 I kept were all stuffed with shad. The lake is full again, visibility of about 18 inches and 50 degrees at 7:30AM. The surface had warmed to 55 by 3:00PM.
