I was supposed to be pre-fishing for a bass tournament, but I found 51 degree water in a creek in the lower end of the lake, so I had to crappie fish. I caught 15 crappie...w/ only one being a keeper along w/ 2 big yellow bellies. I went home, had lunch and came back in the evening and the water temp had jumped to 61 degrees. I started catching crappie in the back of the cove, and even caught a nice 4 lb channel cat right at dark. Won't be long......going back tomorrow after work...(edit..it was 03/09...not 03/10. The tournament was on 03/10 and it sucked)
