Had my best spring numbers an weight 3/26/. The small mouth are bulging with eggs.
Using live bait I stayed focused on spawning ares where the channel was handy.
Several fish over 5 lbs
Water temp 60 near state park marina
Few pics
The crappie pic was caught last while a good friend fished the BLF

Has the lake come up any or is it still around winter pool? Talked to a buddy who went down a couple weeks back and he made it sound as if the water was still down.
Headed down next week to try and find some big browns with my dad & son. Hopefully the crank bite will be on fire.

Lake is close to summer pool, crank bait and some Aleve is all You will need. Good luck
Nice fish.
I'll swing by and say hello. We are usually in the same area except I move in a circle and you just let them circle around to you. Lol!

I will be taking 3 people out over the week end so I'll be doing a lot of pulling up on the bank or anchoring hoping they are moving toward me
Have you been pulling multiple fish from the same area?
Is 2 or 3
Good is 5
Fantastic over 6
Yes to your question
Sounds like the lake has nearly made a full bounce back after the fish kill a few years back. Great to hear the numbers & quality are on the rise. Such a great fishery. Hopefully one of those big browns will break my son's heart next week. He lost one 2 years ago well over 5 when it went airborne at the boat & tossed the hooks. He still blames me. Lol!
