This is a shop shot from my 360 Hummimbird. The "lighter" area ahead of the blue boat is a school of bait fish. This proves that crappies are like "gold",,, you can find quartz without gold, but you can't find "gold" without quartz  AND  you can find bait fish without crappies but you can't find crappies without bait fish. In short,, we didn't catch any. Will try again Friday.

I was at Bartlett today we left the lake  at 3pm .we fished yellow cliffs in the am the water was only 58 then. We went quite a ways up from the no wake bouys ,coldest water 55.7 that was where I had just 4 ft of water under the boat and turned around . At the no wake bouys it was 60 in the main  lake and muddy water,  61 and muddy water in that back water north of there on the west side .Near the dam the water was much clearer and 61.2 ( On both of my lowrances , separate transducers ) The only place we saw evidence of bait fish balls was between half way between the marina and the dam there were Grebes ,  bait fish balls  :don't know: and 61 degree water but no hungry crappies . This was my second trip to Bartlett got fish the first time 3 days after the storm but nothing this time. Will try again in a couple of days

bartlett came up almost 2' since yesterday, guessing the crappie are in a little shell shock right now, should be done filling by next week, then it should really turn on with a little warm weather and water
