Hit the lake around noon, used a red and white 1/16th jig. Fished the south 1/2 of main lake. Didn't catch any crappie, but did catch 3 perch all about 8-10 inches. The weather was overcast with a light east wind. Fish finder showed several small schools of fish in middle of lake about 10' deep. Water is still a little bit cold. It should pick up in 2 or 3 weeks. I think the fish are stiil at the far north end in the 20 to 30 foot deep water

Im not too familiar with the lake but last june we were nailing the crappie in the canal part of the lake under a bridge. I know there is like 4 miles of canals so there is probally more than 1 bridge, wish I could be of more help.

The water temp was at 48 degrees on the main lake. I didn't fish the canals but they might be a little warmer.
There are 4 bridges that cross the lake. You were probably on the canal that connects the two lakes. The crappie fishing is getting better the last couple of years. It was almost fished out about 8 years ago.

I didnt think of that but the canals will probally be a little warmer. One of my buddys has a house on the canal and he said 2 years ago they dredged the canal and took out all the weeds, and the fishing has been pretty good ever since. He also said that there isnt too many trout in the canal but if you put in the time you will be rewarded with a lunker trout. We also caught some HUGE perch, I would say the average size was 12" or so. Also some decent LMB, no bluegill though. From what I rember you take a left when you leave the grocery store and go a mile or 2 and thats the bridge we were under. The bigger the jig, the bigger the crappie and a plain jig worked better than a jig baited with a worm or perch meat. White curley tail and a 1/16 oz black jig head. Floating rapala worked for bass, perch and crappie
