Welcome to the board.

I can't fish Malone anymore due to the hp limit. Hopefully that will be corrected next spring. So, as you may guess, I don't know about the bite.

When I was fishing down there, I did catch a few crappie by accident around the dam, particularly the over flow drain. There are some nice channel cats in that lake. I used to have a pontoon, and I'd go out very very early, tie up to a bluff, cast out, and I kept getting woke up by those pesky fish... LOL

I've never done very well there for bass, but a lot of others do.

Good luck,

Danny

PS, I only live about 30 miles from the lake, how about you?
