I got out yesterday to look for some Bass and Crappie patterns for some upcoming trips. The water temp averaged around 50 and the level looked great, and there was a lot of current that helped with being able to catch several of both, especially some good quality Bass. I checked on a few Crappie areas first few minutes then I got out my Echo Crankbait and went to having a "blast" catching several nice fish burning it along deep grass lines. I was only able to stay with this for a couple of hrs. due to having to leave for prior commitments, but the action I was able to get into was well worth the short time I had to check these patterns. The Fall patterns have really taken off for both Crappie and Bass so get out and enjoy it. Have fun, Mike Carter

Wow, the surface temp was at 50 degrees already?? That is amazing.
