slow

Comments

The bass were catchable but you had to work for them. finness worms seemed to be the most productive but with the exstream winds it was hard to fish them. Checked my favorite crappie hole and only had a few takers but decided to try a fallen tree off the main lake while I was still riged and filled a coller. Found that all similar trees in 10 to 13 ft of water was also holding crappie.
