Saturday-
Fished from 7-4:30 Water temp. 58-62 Bridgeview Caught 4 all shallow (2-3 feet) slow trolling jigs w/minnows and one pole minnow and float. Abou 5 feet from the shore, close to willows. Water clarity slightly better but still no better than 6 inches. The calm shore seemed to be more productive. Missed a nice one (maybe 1 1/2lb.). Two of the four were 13 1/2 and 14 1/2 inches.
The water at southfork was quite clearer, water temps next to the shore at 1 pm were between 62-67! Caught a few more and missed one that I had almost in the boat that might have been the biggest Crappie I have ever caught out of Rathbun. Can't be sure, but I would guess well over a two pounds. Just never got the hook set, made me sick. Was trolling next to the shore in about 2-3 feet of water. caught a nice slab right after I missed the big one.
Waypoint #39 (I just created) is way up in the sticks of southfork and is the location of my Blackberry Tour. I bobbled it, bounced off my foot and in the water.
Sunday--
I only went for three hours, thought I would try the spot were I lost the big one from Saturday. I was on the water at 6, fished for a hour and caught two small ones. Decided to try the bridge at southfork, caught a nice slab right underneath the bridge in 8 feet of water, 3 sheephead, 2 bass, and one walleye. I missed a bass that had my 7 foot med heavy bass rod doubled over. Nice fish. Water temp is really coming up, it shouldn't be long until you can catch them in numbers.
