My guest and I fished from dawn to dusk (with a couple of breaks mixed in), and we managed to catch a good number of fish as well as lose several more near the boat.  First fish of the day was largest at 3.4lbs caught on a bone colored Chappo 110.  Next cast another big hit and lost the lure (looked like a bad knot...so that’s on me).  Switched to a Whopper Plopper 90, and continued to catch mostly dinks until the topwater bite ended shortly after sunrise.  Last fish of the day was 2^nd biggest at 3lbs. caught on spinnerbait. Once the topwater bite died off, we just moved around the lake and would catch a few here and there on various baits before moving on. The crappie were mostly caught on the red Rattle Trap. It was truly a mixed bag with no real pattern.  Most of the fish came from the South half of the lake, but not really near the dam.  Water is very stained with only about 1.5ft of visibility, and as a result the fish are very pale (but healthy).  Bottom is black clay mud, and there’s virtually no grass/vegitation to deal with.  Remember to bring something (preferably flat sided) to bail some water wth as the boat has a slow leak.  I used a Country Crock tub.
