Put in at Bryants and ran up in to Dix River. I only went just a little past Murphys Bottoms up in the river. When I put the boat in the water temp around Bryants Camp was 52 and the further I went up in to the river the colder it got. At Murphys Bottoms it was 48. Seen several boats Trolling and casting of the whites and crappie fishing. I talked to several guys in boats and like me thay had not caught a fish. Around 2 oclock I did what I told my self I needed to be doing all day, and went back to the 52 degree water. I dont know if it was the water temp difference or just the time of day but around 3 pm I started to catching crappie, not a lot, but enough for me to have a big fish dinner Sunday night.

Dix River water temp this past Sat: 48
Bryants Camp water temp: 52
Fish started biting for me on minows around 5 to 8 foot deep, really close to cover, in about 10 foot of water. I would only catch 1 or 2 fish on each log that I fished. I found one spot that held a few more fish, but as soon as the wind pushed the boat close to it and I hit the trolling motor to get off the area I never caught another fish out if it.

Hope this helps
