Once again you way out did me.  I may have to give that end of the lake a try.  How is the water up there?  There were lots of floaters above Cape and lots of boats.

I hope so, the fish I have been catching are too far down for the Wart to reach.  That being said, I have not been going back in coves and working the banks, but have seen plenty of people doing that, so who knows, could be a bite on cranks somewhere.  

Usually there will be a bite on Shad Raps too, the small #5 size, I'd like to see a couple of warm sunny days and that might happen.  

I know a craw pattern crank that might be able to reach them.............

Water is pretty good, a little stain, maybe 3-5 feet of visibility.  I saw one patch of floaters a little bit downstream of Emerald beach, but that was it except for a few random small pieces of wood.  Quite a few boats out too.

Any slime up that way?

For me, after top water, square bill bite is the next best as far as having fun.

Oh yeah!  I was just talking about catching.  We caught them like crazy.  Lakes and rivers.

I meant to try it on the white but they were on the jig so why switch.

Sorry to hear about the wrist.  Did you get any fishing in while you were down there?

Something I forgot to mention, a lot of the fish had craw antennae sticking out of their gullet, maybe a sign that the craws are out moving around.  Should be good news for us bottom draggers.

Went over to tennkiller Sunday afternoon and caught some largemouths that were wearing bright red lipstick.
