But, normally, things are not two weeks behind like everything seems to be this year. Good luck, hope your next trip is wind free and fish full.

8/12/2008 9:58:00 PMA cold front moved over sat night. It was windy the whole time we were out sat evening too. Passing cold fronts always seem to slow the bite down for a day or two. I have no idea why. Low light conditions always get us the best results for crappie. 90% of what we catch is in the last hour before dusk. We fish in pockets of open water among the big tall weeds. We use 1/16th and 1/32 oz jigs with plasctic skirts and worms about 4-5' under a pencil bobber. Fishing the shady side of big weed clumps during the days is a good idea. Hadn't thought of that.
