I went Friday for the first time this year on Mitchell and the water was like chocolate milk and I didn’t find many fish at all. I felt fortunate just to catch the 6 nice keepers I had. The fish were definitely not where they have been in past years for this time of year.

There are more crappie now than ever. They are everywhere if you have livescope it does not take long to find them. Like Ben, I have seen incredible schools of crappie on Lay Lake at times. I saw a school in Paint creek back in the fall that had thousands of fish in it. That didn't make them easy to catch; we would catch a few and the rest would get wise in a hurry. I carried my grandson last week and I never saw a single group of crappie anywhere. Didn't see any bass either. There were hundreds of millions of shad and bunches of catfish under them, but no crappie. I tried fishing just outside the weeds and never got a bite. I remember fishing in February back in the 90s and we could catch all we wanted just off the weeds, but something seems different now.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

They are not on the bank yet they are swimming in groups of 5-20 in creek channels in 5-10 ft of water at lay
