I had a couple buddies crappie fished up there Sun and said it was 52-53

I threw a swimbait and blade in pockets but didn't have any takers...got bumped twice on a blade. I caught everything on a black/gold/orange jerkbait which is my favorite color on cloudy days on Trock or Bull. Water was 49.7 to 51.2 everywhere I fished.

That is a way overlooked color. Especially like it in the old big Rogue. Thanks for the info.

I thought I had a little secrect on the old brown and orange rouge I didn't think many people threw that color. I've had a few big bags on it at lake O. Snowy or really dreary days I put it on and throw it all day they eat it.

Indian Point area but fishing main lake gravel pockets with docks...usually focus on the ones that bend back north but with the sound wind and no sun the water was pretty much the same temp everywhere. I was hunting smallmouth in the shallow pea gravel pockets and caught 5 but found a few good blacks were hanging around also.

It is one of my favorite color combos...around sunrise or set and cloudy days I always have it one
