Got to the lake about 7:30 am and the skies opened up and it poured. Since I had driven 2 hours to get there I decided to wait it out. Drove back into town and found a donut shop so sat and had 2 donut and a cup of coffee. The bank around the lake was mud so launched the club Jon boat and got back on the water about 9:00 am. Water had 2-3 ft visibility but the wind was up from the storms so it was a lot of move and anchor, move and anchor. Started catching right off on topwater and caught majority of fish on surface which was a little surprising considering wave action on the lake.
Caught a dozen LMB up to 4 lb but most 2-3 with only 1 dink. Caught 3 large (>1 lb) crappie. Didn't really find a pattern or area of the lake that was more productive than others. Started raining again about 11:00 so took a lunch break in my car with a sandwich I brought. Got back on the water for another hour but got nothing, not even a bite. Things just shut down. Weird.
I was waterlogged by then so called it a day. Still had a good day and with better weather it could have been great.
