BUT, the little woman in the boat with me had NEVER caught soo many crappie before in her life soooo-- would you PLEASE take me fishin saturday of all days with the crappie and wipers hitting and a week for everyone to get ready!!???? Well I thought if we got there EARLY!! HA HA HA, so did everyone else, there were 30 boats in the water and its still dark

We got our limit without me killin someone

and I told the wife we are going home and we are not coming back until the crappie are off the banks, and you are right Troy about this weekend and the full moon, they will be at the peak of the spawn and I WILL BE HOME

Fished below the dam yesterday with a couple of friends and did pretty good. Big fish of the day was 17 pounds, overall we caught 20 or so blue cats total and one small flathead. Bait was very tough and has been for some reason. Chris

dang redneck hillbillys done went and killed all the shad dog gone it lmao well it is time to plant the gardens maybe they are using the 150 daily limmit of shad to take home for fertilizer maybe ???

I think I need a new 5 gallon bucket hu chris ???? lol

catman1979 ( chris ) went out yesterday also after work , had 1 in the 40's few 20's and said they 5 to 15 lbers was going crazzy and feeding well .

hes got his new 140 suzuki motor broke in now so the bluecats are in serious trouble !!!!!

we caught a 4 to 5 lb flathead a week ago and some of the guys have caught them on crappie jigs every once in awhile lately ,, litle Joe had a 40 lber on a crappie jig awhile back up on the docks in the dead channel .

I think weve had less than 2 inchs here at the house but hopefully your right and they had more in places Scotty.
Lake report states they will be running 20,000 cfs by Wednesday and I wouldnt be surprised if they increase those numbers the next couple of days.

Forecast looks good for the week and I plan to be there all week.
Slaying crappie in the day, and catfishing at night....
