Booked the A.M. trip. Got on the water at daylight and fished until noon it was overcast with light rain and strong winds. The lake is up a little bit from last time i was there with about 8-12 inches of clarity. I couldnt seem to get anything going for the bass bite so i decided to get the crappie jigs out. As per previous reports about the crappie being stacked up on the brushpiles and the pier thats where i found them too.I had a blast with them. This lake is full of decent crappie i would drift back and forth over the brush piles and just repeat that over and over. I used a pink16/th oz jig with a white grub tail. Caught around 30 or so and one 14 inch bass. All were culled and will make a great little fry. This is one of my favorite propertys in the club
