I spend several hours at T-Bird today nosing around just to let the crappie know I was back. The water temperature at the surface around Little River Marina dock was 68.3 and it was 68.5 at the Calypso Cove marina. Monday the fish were still in the channels at both marinas and were around lots of them around the water pick up station. Today I didn't see any in the channels and none in shallow water. I checked out my top secret honey hole and nothing there but turtles.
I saw one bass fisherman and two pontoon boats with guys looking for crappie. They were catching them yesterday but were unable to find any today. I didn't make it to hog creek but the park rangers told me there were two people wading but he didn't see any fish.
I will be back out tomorrow around noon to do a more thorough search. I guess the casinos sent a bus to the lake and all the fish went to the casino for the buffet.
Endangering the crappie way of life in two different centuries.
