[scrap]

Have not had a chance to get over there in a while. Wondering if any of you guys have been and how you did.

Was on Clinton Friday and Saturday for Bass Tournament. Lots of crappie fisherman. I din't see many being caught and those taht were coming in as I was leaving Friday didn't limit out.

The area of the hot water discharge was absolutely packed Friday. The colder temps Saturday kept some away I think.

Hope taht maybe Wednesday i can make it up to Clinton for some crappie fishing.

Got Friday 04/08 off work. Going to give it a try. Should be time for them to be moving in. Will let everyone know what happens.

Well strong East wind, high pressure and blue bird skies = poor fishing
Did manage to catch 6 @ 10.5" - 11". The water level seems very low for this time of year. The good thing about that is I found several new honey holes for future trips. Found an awsome new Beaver Dam - if you see it you will know it.

Be careful around those beaver dams. I used to fish Clinton all the time when I lived in Argenta. I can still remember the sunny spring day that we found our way back to several beaver dams. They were all alive and from a distance, it looked like the sticks were moving. It was snakes- hundreds of them on each hut. The big cove across from the marina and the one across from west dam access has these moving beaver dams.

Man they are on. They have moved up into the coves and we caught them everwhere from 12' - 2'. Could not get out in the morning (turkey hunting) so got on the water around noon. Caught a few in the deeper water untill around 4 pm. Thats when all heck broke loose. Could not keep them off the hook from 4 - 7. Hope you all can git ya some.

Caught lots of smalls. Only 6 keepers and a 20" walleye. Most of what was caught were very very dark males. This has been a tuff spring. Just as they turn on and move in a cold front hits and pushes them back out. Gotta love mother.
