I took Jim Edmister out today just cause we wanted to be punished by wind, chill, and current. All three were brutal and showed no mercy today. The crappie were in a negative mood, and it was one of the worst days for me in many moons. Jim said that it was him and I asked him if he had the Spurhunter jinx on him. emoPoke emoBig
<br /><br />We did manage to land 9 crappie including my 18th TARP, lost another very nice crappie while reaching for the net, emoBang, one bass, 1 yellow bass, and 1 tiny bluegill.<br /><br />We saw Norman and Jerry out there battling the elements and met Zippy and his 2 companions as well. The water flow was scheduled to be 85,000 cfs today and I believe that it was doing every foot of that. That 10 mph wind that we were supposed to have was whitecapping the lake.<br /><br />We fished several lures, colors, etc. but nothing produced any better than an albino shad with taillight. We caught most of our fish off bluffs, but did manage to catch 2 or 3 on docks.<br /><br />Tomorrow will be a better day. emoBig emoGeezer
