Last Thursday strip pit in Greene Sullivan near Dugger was 49.8F.

Not sure about larger lakes like Monroe, Cataract, or Patoka.

Using 1/32 pink jighead with kalins crappie scrubs in dark blue and chartreuse . Also used white and chartreuse .

Fished 7 to noon today. Kept 10. 2 12s, 2 11s, rest 10 to 10 1/2.

Caught the better ones in 12 to 13 feet. Many throwbacks.

5 boats when I got there, about 25 when I left. Water temp almost 70.

Fished 9 to 2 in Pine Grove area. Thought they'd be in flooded brush
But couldn't find them. Caught 4 11 to 12 inch keepers in lay down by creek channel.

Caught about 20 more throwbacks.

Never use minnows. Might be times I should. Been mainly using Kalins crappie scrubs,

Fished about 4 hours yesterday morning. Had 1 10 inch 1 11 inch 1 12inch and 3 9 inch. Probably 10 or 12 smaller fish.

Better fish were near bottom in 14 to 16 feet.

Just curious if you could tell me if the blade type jig was a road runner type jig or more like a beetle spin?

Was there a tourney yesterday at Cataract?

If so, how did things go?

Anyone fish or have info on Webb Lake north of Fort Myers?
Any help on crappie there would be appreciated.

Super great day on Manatee after meeting up with jamin696. This guy really knows his business concerning crappie fishing. My fishing partner and I cleaned around 40-- many in the 12-14 inch range. ...

Looks like you had a great day.

Any certain color seem to work better?

Thanks to both of you for your help. I know here in Indiana a thermocline develops and not any use fishing deeper than where the oxygen levels deplete. Sounds very similar for your area. Not done...

Could you pass along the water temperature for Cedar, if you have it?

You have a pm.

I appreciate the response for help in determining water temps. I use the TVA site to get lake levels, but have never found info on temps.

58 degrees is sure getting close. Where I fished this...

Is there a site that records current water temps for Little Bear or Cedar Lake? Will be there this coming week and would like to get an idea of how far off the spawn might be.

Thanks.

If you go to Dogwood there is a 10 HP limit.

Was at Boggs Saturday, still very muddy, very windy, caught 5 crappie but only 2 were "keepers" barely--1 9inch, 1 10 inch. Also one very small gill....
