These temp swings lately have made for some interesting days. I was out for a few hours several days ago when it was cold and found the deeper sections of the old river channel absolutely loaded with bait. I was out mainly fiddling with my new side scan unit and the amount of returns I got once over the channel was astounding. With CHIRP running I was getting hundreds of arches of all size and plenty of dense bait balls. I spent a few minutes actually fishing and lots of catfish a buffalo to show for it! I did find some good crappie down deep just off the bottom in 15-20'. I had to run a heavier than usual lead just to get it through the fish to get down to the crappie. Water temp was 45° then but that was before all this warm weather. I'll be out there tomorrow and Tuesday, you'll probably find me looking for them high in the water column over deep brush or pushing around some deep flats near the river channel.
