KYLCRAPPIE GUIDE SERVICE<br>Fishing Report<br>Now is the time for some great Spring Slabs, The lake level is at 357 and holding with the water tempters around 52 – 54 DEG. The crappie is finally starting to move in to the shallows 9 to 14 foot of water. Had a guide trip this past Sunday and caught some nice fish one that topped the scales at 2 pounds 13 oz. All the fish we caught were in 9 to 14 foot with the most productive depths being 11 – 12. We fished mainly on flats and small drops with steak beds. Early in the mornings start out in 9 to 11 foot of water with the baits around a foot of the bottom. Around 10:00 or so move out into 12 to 14 foot of water and keep the baits moving till you find that magic depth and structure, Sundays best baits were the candy Green Hot Head with a Black/Chart skirt, Orange/Chart Hot Head with orange/chart/green spec skirt, Candy Blue Hot Head with a Black Blue Skirt and The Green Monster. It won’t be long until the water hits that magic number of 65 deg and this fish are jumping in the boat. Don’t forget to take a kid and let them catch some Spring crappie. <br>God bless and good fishing to you all.<br><br>Charles<br>KYLCRAPPIE Guide Service<br>KYLCRAPPIE@Hotmail.com<br>teezur@hotmail.com<br><br>
