Well wasn’t much happening. This little guy hit a blade bait and not another bite after about 4 hours. One bite and one in the yak. Weather was nice for the last two days but still dealing with cold nights. Some near freezing still. Hoping the next few weeks get better. Water temp was around 54 degrees. Getting there slowly but surely.

New to fishing so the 12 1/2" crappie has been my largest one so far.

The cold front we have had seems to have knocked fish back a little. Only seen two fish up on the bed and very few cruising. Backed off and started fishing spawning flats and shallows points with a Swing Head to combat that. Reeling it just along the bottom bumping the pea gravel rocks.

Warm winter day with air temps in the 50's, with the lake drawn down its a great time to walk the flats and cast live bait out into the channel.
