Fished Wed evening and Thursday morning , went from bear den cove to near point 15 looking for crappie , caught 8 6 keepers , wind was terrible , could not get any pattern what so ever few fish near the bank few more in 15 ft tried a few brush piles no takers . Minnow and jig was what we used ,Sorry no water temp , water was very stained , Very few boats in area also for this time of year . 30 to 35 mph guest may of slowed folks down. Heading to Big M area tomorrow see what is going on there.

I know this area is covered by very good fisherman but would like try and post more instead of just taking info form this great forum. started late noon fished 3 hrs water temp 43 . Very windy , My fish came from 20 ft water boat in 30+ all on ned rig , That is all I tryed. These fish was chunky i hope the pic go through (never did pic before) caught 6 one was little over 17 inch. I Found area where water went from 10 ft to 30 ft and they were there. Did not find any fish on the bank and I did try. Anyway my son and I had a great day and that is fun !!

Got me a order in the works also , Dave did a great job answering questions and getting the right approach , Snow last night 71 Saturday I see fishing trip in the forecast

Dave Great post . Thank you for time to explain this thing the videos help a lot

Fished today bears den and point 15 fished banks ,flats ,few brush piles was fishing by 6:30 very very foggy near bridgeport caught 2 keep, few short crappie . many small bass , just could not get on the crappie like we did 2 weeks ago when the wind come up 20 plus just gave up . hope others do better than we did may be tough for a few days.

Fished all day bite for us came in 8 to 10 ft of water throw to bank then slow, SLOW retrieve, we had one limit of good slabs , caught several shorts, few small bass , just enough to keep us going all day , we fished just south of the bridge near power line then banks with brush on them , went to point 15 caught two , Bobby Garland baby shad (hologram ghost) 1/16 oz jig head is what we used mostly, Sorry no pic will try to figure it out . Just glad to post something good

I am glad the fishing turned around some, We fished wed evening in that area not much luck 3 crappie (one short) one small white ,Then yesterday 10:00 to 2:00 , One nice crappie off some pole timber in peach orchard cove , marked some fish in the deeper water outside of the cove along bluff but no takers. We stayed at flat creek resort very nice folks great food good rooms

This spring I bought a Humminbird 596c HD the down scan is great But I use the split screen sonar and down scan most of the time anyway , When I upgrade GPS is a must also wider screen , Most of us are not reading this forum on a old 12'' computor screen No the bigger the better , I think same on the water , You should have some options out there for that kind of money , I really like mine , Just a few improvements I will get next time

Bill- I went through this a couple of years ago here's how it worked out on my property . 1. we have a OLD property marker nearest to the water this is obslete now. 2. we have a Take LIne and we do have a corp pin there also at 929.00 ft anything lower than this take line is corp property . 3. then the 936 ft line BETWEEN the 936 line and the take line is my property BUT about all I can do is mow it or put something there that is NOT permenent. SO I have three amaginary lines through my property . April of 2011 the lake got to 935.47 It was unreal and I was sure glad we had nothing below that line. I have heard many bridges are built at the 936' mark don't know that for sure But I do remember folks on here said the water was slapping the 13 bridge.Hope this helps Took me months to get all this straight
