I thought that with the colder temps the fish might have dropped back to the bottom of the channel in the CC area. The wife and I headed up there this AM. Cold hard wind (20 mph or better) beating us in the face. Didn't take us long to get cold. Around noon a cold rain started and then shortly after that heavy lightening. What was I thinking? It is going to take me two weeks to get the chill out of my bones. Around 2:00 the lightening got bad and we headed out. Just as we started to leave my wife slipped and fail in the lake!!! Luckily she is only a little bruised. As soon as we got to the truck the bottom fail out of the clouds. It rained so hard we could barely see. On the way home we ran into hail 3 times. The last batch was about the size of nickels. I was driving my brand new truck (only 9 weeks old). I hope the dimpled look is in this year. HAHA I checked it out when I got home and luckily, no damage.

Wait a minute... I forgot this was a fishing report!! lol With the heavy wind we couldn't fish our slip bobbers. We dragged our minnows along the bottom using a bottom bouncing rig. We managed to come home with 13 keeper crappie and one 2 lb cat. They were all about 15 to 17' deep and hit hard. Not many bites but nearly all the fish were keepers. I can tell you now that they got some serious rain and the lake will sure come up more and be muddy tomorrow.

Just checked the rain gauge at my house near the Stockton Airport and we had 1.5 inches and it is still raining. All the ditches are running full. It should be in the bushes all spring and flipping time is just around the corner.
