Cloudy mid 70's and 54 by end of day
Had two great guys fishing with me today. Ran out to the hot spot from yesterday and bam, bam, fish hitting two, three and four lines at a time. I was decided ahead of time to keep only 8 big crappie and they did. But the fish kept bitting and we went thru all the bait by 3pm. Dang.... OK plan B was to cast for some smallies and LGMouth. We got some LGMouth dinks but as the rain moved in and the temps dropped 20 degrees it was clear the bite was over. Ran back just before the rain hit.
