Shorts was the word of the day…and not the kind you wear. My bride and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and pulled the boat to a new to us lake here in the Buckeye State. The 664-acre Burr Oak Lake in Athens, Co. was built as a multiple-use reservoir for flood control, water supply and recreation. We pulled cranks for 4 hours and managed 9 short crappie, 2 LM bass and 1 channel cat. Water temp 80 degrees. All fish were caught at 11 ft in 18 ft of water. (Just above thermocline)
