Trip Report For 2/23

[straw hat]

I bank fished a rocky bank not too far from CC. Tough day with the wind blowing into the bank where I was. I caught around 20 crappie but only 6 were keepers. They started out at around 10' deep but by the end of the day they had dropped to 16'. Water temp was 48 and the water was a little silty but not bad. A lot more boats around on this trip. Most of the boats I talked to had a few crappie and one guy had 2 white bass. I also caught about 2 dozen small bass (10 - 12") and one smallmouth. Don't see many smallmouth around the cc area. Lets hope this rain tommorow doesn't muddy up the water too bad.

I was useing live minnows nd the bite was very soft. I use a slip bobber rig and they weren't even taking it down. They would just pull it down about a 1/2" to an inch and hold it. That was enough to al least see. I think they were just laying there holding it in there mouth because I sure missed a lot more bites than normal.
