Title: Bartlett
Post by: Rocko on March 16, 2015, 07:23 AM

We fished for crappie 3/12-3/13.  We went up river by the no wake bueys and graphed lots of fish at 7-8', the water temp was 59-62.  Every thing looked perfect except the chocolate milk.  We trolled through thousands of fish with out a nibble.  Guess we need to wait for the water to clear up.  The dam side of the lake had much better visibility, but no crappie.  Did not see one fish break water in 2 days.

Well that kind of is the pits! But I am not surprised with all that water coming down the river.
Hopefully will get better soon!

Fished Bartlett 3-17, 8am - 2pm.  Fish holding 20 - 30 feet in all the usual places, Cat Bay, buoy line and even north to the second hazard buoy line.  Picked 1 up long lining a bare minnow.  Saw 3-4 other boats doing about the same.  It shouldn't be too much longer.
