Marvin and I hit Bartlett Sunday morning about 7:30 am we were up stream around the island that produced some crappie for us in February last year. We were fishing vertical with bobbers in the sticks and about 8 ft. of water. Not a great day but Marvin landed (3) nice crappie with one going over 2 lbs. and the other two were clones in the 1.5 to 1.75 range. I got what the little boy shot at NOTHING! Marvin was using bare hooks with a minnow. I tried several different things including the bare hook and minnow. Wind picked up and we left the lake about 1:30 Just in time to listen the Cards debacle all the way home.
I fished that same spot. I was in the skeeter that was anchored got one out of there in five hours before I left. I fished probably 30+ hours in last few days with about six fish total.
Deeper water held more for me..
