It's been about ten years since I've been on here, but I figured I would add what little info I had. So long I had to create a new profile.
On Saturday, April 6th, caught 15 keepers in the 11-14" range on the north end of the lake using minnows over brushpiles. Fish were caught in 14-21 feet of water. Water temp was 56 degrees. Water temp was 60 in the back of the coves but for the life of me I have no clue how to catch shallow crappie. I just stick with brushpiles in 15-20 feet range. I just moved to KS from TN and that approach works well year round on KY Lake so that is what I go with. Happy fishing.

Gotta go back to your roots sometimes. A cork and a jig or a cork and an Arkansas jig (minner). We kept 31 yesterday.

Tim. How far under the cork were you fishing?

2 1/2 to 6 ft but that's gonna change with this cold front. Wouldn't hurt if it was a short lived front that lasted a day or 2 but this one is gonna hang around through Sunday. Won't affect the deeper fish but it will affect the shallow bite plus the 1 to 2 inches of rain forecast for Saturday.

X2 on going back to your roots Tim. When you find that spot on a spot you remember quickly that the basics produce...

Wow that cold front hit us hard. Pulled the fish back to the staging areas. Had to hunt them today and finally found the bigger fish in 16 fow. Water temp went from 68 deg last week to 56 to 58 deg today. Numbers were down but all big females.

Crappie still haven't recovered from the strong cold front. Still catching the bigger fish 14 to17 ft. It's a waiting game. Males are sporadic at best Some days shallow and others deeper. Lake is falling and almost down to normal pool at 1010.00. Water temps are slowly recovering from 60 deg in some areas to 66 in others. Shallow bite will stay tough until they close the gates.

Thank you for the report TimY. I heard fishing was tough and there were a lot of boats on the water down there last Friday. I think we all should book with you...
