We fished Mark Twain in the Lick Creek and Big Indian Creek branches on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. Crappie were slow. The best bite was shallow along the shore mostly near stick weeds. Very few were caught on stumps and flooded trees in deeper water. We were using 1/16 and 1/8 oz. jigs. Our largest crappie was 10+ inches. Falling water levels and high air pressure was a contributing factor. Water color is dingy to stained and about six feet above normal pool.

My Dad has been up there for 3 days tearing them up and some good ones too.  He has caught his limit before noon each day with several fish 12+.
