Mark Twain 5/21 thru 5/25

[Mark Twains Crappie Dan]

Fishing was "BAD". No walk ramps in, except the U ramp, that I saw, and was at Spalding, Berhan, Allen, and 107. North Fork is stained, South Fork is muddy, Sandy's not bad, Mid Lake is starting to get better. Big an Lil Indian were good. And fishing still was "Bad". "NOT A KEEPER" caught in "5" days. The fish are not shallow spawning, The ones we caught were off the banks fishing 8 feet deep using "Minnows", only caught "1" on a jig, and it was on a black an chart. with a white nibble. Shad are spawning on the south bank east of 107, out of South Fork. Water temp ran 64 to 65 degrees, did see it hit 80 yesterday by Pigeon. Caught a few white bass, don't keep, and "NO LARGE MOUTH. Good Luck.

Fished 3.5 hours Sunday and 4 hours yesterday. 24 fw, 10 to 12 ft. deep color didn't seem
to matter much but had to have a white nibble. Blue and white was the best with brown chartruce next. 30 t0 40 dinks each day with 8 keepers Sunday and 2 yesterday. They pulled the plug about time I left so don't know what that will do. Main lake points and bluffs w/ timber.

That's what I like about you, can count on your honesty. Golf club's, I'm starting my own collection, a club foot stepped on 1 of my Wally's, first fish, bang. Let me get a couple more club's and you an I will start a new sport, "Water Golf". LOL. Hope your doing well, miss your reports.

Fished the middle fork today and we tried shallow and the banks. The water was quite dirty. Only saw a couple other boats on the water. Within 5 minutes we had a nice 14" in the boat caught at about 2 ft. We both thought "boy, this is going to be a ton of fun." And it was. The key word being "was." The five minutes quickly faded and the next four hours we did not manage another single fish–nothing. There was a lot of gunk floating around and the carp were having a lip smacking good time along the banks with all the crud. Those things were flopping everywhere. Don't know what else to say except it was a beautiful day for fishing, but not catching.

Went out yesterday at South Fork. Didn't go very far just the cove next to the parking lot. Caught 5 - 5"-6" fish. Fished for about 4 hours. Guy fishing the back next to ramp had 3 with one 13". Don't know how long he had been there.
COE put a courtousy ramp at South Fork. I imagine they were doing it to all the ramp with the water falling.

We mainly went to get his boat wet. Hadn't been in the water for a year and he is taking his wife up to Truman next weekend. Planned to fish a couple of other areas but a root canal infection (had the root canal Monday) flair up and got flue like symptoms and wussed out. Got some antibiotics from the dentist but looks like next week will need to go in and get the gunk cleaned out unless the antibiotics start working. Plan on heading back up when I get this straightened out.
