    Default Lake of Egypt


    Going to fish lake of Egypt tomorrow. Any pointers for crappie and bass. Where would the warmer water be? It's been 15years since I've been here. Didn't expect colder weather. Wifes going shopping while I fish. Any ideas are appreciated. Going to fish Kincaid lake on Monday

    I think the power plant is on north end of lake, should be warmest water. Good luck at both, want to fish Kinkaid when I get back. Heading to Sippi Sunday for 3 days.

    Not much action on north end, no weeds. Start mid lake and go south.
    Early to bed, early to rise,
    Fish like hell, make up lies.

    Heading to Egypt tomorrow, anyone find crappie over the weekend? Is so were they north or south? I plan on starting north by the plant throwing a jig under a cork on the weed edge, or first drop which do you recommend?

    Crab was flooded and muddy last week. Caught a few on north bank none on south side.
