Trip Of 11/4

[straw hat]

Well, this time last year was killing the crappie on my favorite bluffs. This fall completely different. Same temps and water level as last year but hard to find a good bite. Fished two bluffs north of CC and could only manage a dozen crappie and only 4 keepers. Bite was very light. Fish were around 20 ft deep. Sorry I can't give a water temp but forgot my thermometer at home. There was a 3 foot matt of a thick algae extending out into the lake everywhere we went. Also caught one 16 1/2" white bass. Saw a few flocks of ducks as well.
