I went out yesterday and fought the wind at Talala Creek. I fished several of my regular spots and tried several new areas I found. Surface temp of the water was about 48 and I had one bite, one fish from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Most fish on the graph showed to be 11' to 20' down. I slow trolled and I also tried pulling some crank baits and struck out on that too. I even went up into the creek being very careful to avoid the stumps. As soon as I left the flats and entered the creek, the surface temp was 58.8. The wind made it too tough to doodle sock the brush so I venture further. The water turned from stain to strong mud and the temp was an average of 57.7. Average depth was 4.5' in the center and I thought I might find a few in there. I got one bite and it was a turtle! I left the creek, and went out to another spot that would put me in the heart of the wind. I tossed out the anchors and spent 30 minutes adjusting them to get me over the brush. I caught another two fish from 6:00-7:15 and missed three bumps.

My good friend was out there with another friend of mine. They started at daylight and caught about 5 fish prior to me getting on the water. They ended up with 13 keepers. It was a tough day.

I do think that by this weekend, we should start to see some Crappie moving towards their beds.

Went out again yesterday with minnows this time. Went to the dam first, the corps was still running water but we didnt see anyone catching anything. Drove up to blue creek and we were the only ones there. There werent any boats in the cove and no truck/trailers by the ramp. We bank fished for a couple hours and didnt get anything. Spent the last part of our day 5pm-8pm at spencer creek. We walked along the bank east from the ramp. We found some brush piles by getting hung up on them so we fished them. Got a few bumps and caught one small black bass but no crappie. Crappie reaper has a good point the water may still be a little to cold but I bet the next two weeks will see an increase in the action.

I had a lady stop by and show me a 5 gallon bucket of crappie she caught on T-BONE jigs yesterday! Nice bucket of fish!!! Way to go Penny!

Penny brought that bucket by the Bait Shop !!! Nice catch !!

hi all, went out to salt creek yesterday caught 5 or 6 small sandbass from the bank and seen many others catching crappie and sandies from scamps all up and down the creek. I didnt catch any keepers but others seemed to be having much better luck. this was in the evening from 4-6

Maybe there is hope this weekend!!!

Caught 40-45. Kept 26. 2-4 ft on jigs and minnows on oolagah

I went to Talala Creek, got rained on 4 times, hailed on once, caught maybe 50-60, kept 20. Had the pleasure of meeting Meatdragger. I was anchored over brush when he came by at quite a distance. He eased through and created zero wake. I already respect the guy for that alone! Headed back out in the morning, shallow bite in the area still not happening (very often). Most bites came at 11' deep in 13' of water. Thanks for the minnows Dragger!
