First one on the water this morning, brisk 25 degrees before first light.
Went towards the dam looking for the crappie marks on the bottom. Didn't see any great bottom marks, however there was huge schools suspended about 10-20' when over 38-40'. None seemed to like what I was offering. Finally hooked up with one dink , and had a few bites. I pulled off the lake a bit earlier than I should have, but I was cold and the catching wasn't great, so I felt justified...
Water temp was 55. Another week of cool weather and I think they'll be on fire.
I did discover the livewell on my boat has developed a leak, nice to know the automatic bilge pump works!
