made it out today 3/22 for a few hours....conditions were terrible....chocolate milk colored water (I like muddy water so not the end of the world)....hard current (flood control lake and they was blowing the water out of the dam)....water was 10 foot high or so 2 days ago ,its now to winter pool, huge water level change.....so needless to say less than idea conditions today...I used bait 71 & bait 83 ( www.bobsjigs.com) for the 1st time today....both put fish in the boat....carrots produced better today, but not by alot.....both baits held up well & had great action, even under less than idea conditions the crappie hit them pretty well....nothing huge today, but fishing again fri & then a tourney sunday.....carrots are part of the plan for sure....hope every one has a great day....God bless!!!!!
