What A Week!!
With record low temperatures over most areas, there weren’t many anglers who braved the elements, but those who did were rewarded with good catches. Travis Wood from Quincy limited (25 Crappie) three days in a row, Wednesday thru Friday. Travis was using live minnows in 20-25 feet of water. Crappie fishing is still best in deep water long line trolling with Hal-Fly or Curly Tail type jigs. Live minnows are also effective. The Bass Pro Shops Crappie Master Tournament was held Saturday, February 7th. There were 43 boats entered with 7 states represented. The weigh-in at Whippoorwill Marina began at 3:30pm with 27 out of the 43 weighing in a 7 crappie limit. A guaranteed $10,000.00 payback with a $4000.00 First Place was rewarded.
Here are the results:
First Place $4,000 Prize:
12.93lbs Larry Dawson and Berry Green
Second Place $2000 Prize:
12.11lbs Ray Green and Jason Little
Third Place $1000 Prize:
11.79lbs George Parker & Daryl Cole 
Big Fish: 2.41 lbs George Parker
Cash prizes were paid to First through Tenth Places ranging from $4000-$300. All the fish were released after weigh-in, back into the lake. Good Fishing Guys!!
Dallas Johnson at Ingram’s Marina reported catfishing is still great with good numbers being brought in. Hunter Moore, a local 12 year old, took a 5lb channel cat dock fishing at Ingram’s. Bream. and Shellcracker fishing is still completely -------------!
As reported last week, Bass are beginning to move into pre spawn areas. With warmer temperatures coming, Bass should really begin to move in to spawn. Wesley Scott weighed in an 8lb Bass he took in four inches of water. The lake is in great shape, level normal, clearing, surface temperature 49°.
