The crappie bite at Forbes Lake is really active. Caught 30 monday ranging 9-12". Fishing minnows and minnow tipped jigs over laydowns 4-5 FOW. Very few small fish all decent slabs.

Thnx for the report.

I would have loved to have gone to Forbes the other day..but with the truck and that big honkin dryer..it just wasn't going to happen...:(

I was fishing on Clearwater Lake down in Piedmont, MO and all the crappie we caught were still deep in about 15 - 20 fow. The lake temp was still 78.

The water plant operator here is having fits trying to treat the incoming water becauses it's so warm and it's about to have a big algae bloom..maybe this cool snap will help that out a bit..
Maybe that's why Life didn't have much luck yesterday at the lake here?

Starting to get good up at Ramsey's little lake too, 10-12 fow in the brush. Good to hear the Forbes report, wife and I been talking about hitting it so ya just made that a bit easier. :)
