Hadn't been down there either but hear as you have its bad.

Now about a better subject..CRAPPIE FISHIN..Upper end above Battleship is so muddy you can walk across it. Caught several crappie starting around goat island, then around the use to be sunken island south of goat island, down to Sizemore. Had 14 total keeper crappie today and was shy of my limit but that was my fault. Had 4 come off lifting them into the boat. The bite was very lite and when I say that you had better have some kind of high vis line on cause all you would see would be a flick of the line or feel like you had contacted a leaf floating in the water. The mud line is slowly making it down the lake and when I left it was even with Goat Island and headed south. Baits of choice today was the blk/chart super tube and the black/pink bobby garland. Most crappie were caught vertical jigging in the thickest part of the woodpile and right on the bottom. Had 8 throwbacks also. Early in the morning and in the fog caught fish as shallow as 12' but as the day went along they moved out into 18' to 25' brush. WT was 60.7 when I started in the clear water and got up to 62.1 before leaving. The new water is in the high 50's and got colder the further I went up the lake....Ranger
