The Lake level is 707.83. Water temp is in the low to mid 40s and the lake is pretty clear in most areas. Some feeder creeks are stained but very fishable. It’s that time of the year when the crappie move from weather quarters to the mouths of spawning creeks and coves. In some areas the water depth is 25 feet with the crappie holding at about 18-20 feet while other areas of shallower water, crappie are 4-12 ft deep. Most colors are working, with blue or a shade of blue working the best for me.
Bucksaw area is on fire as well as the area around Windsor Crossing. The Crappie are very shallow in 17-20 feet of water along the creek edges. Jigs, Jigs tipped with minnow, or just minnows working great in these areas.
I ready for the weather to warm up as it’s cold and windy one day and the sunny with light winds the next. March winds have been in the 10-15 daily average. Today was sunny, 42 and 6 mph winds out of the North.
With the gas prices out of sight, folks aren’t driving South to fish are are coming to this area. Dates are starting to book up so get you date ASAP.
Well, that’s about it for now see you all soon. and be sure and wear that life jacket as it works best when worn
