Was out this morning and met oneblade on the ramp... However that did not improve my luck at all... Water was about 55 degrees and I didn't get a bite, disappointed but not surprised as I am new to crappie fishing, and don't really know how to approach it... Not a scientific study, but I didn't see anyone catching fish...

Water has come up a bunch due to big releases from horseshoe, was the water muddy?

Duh... Yes, I'm certain it was and will be now for several weeks.
Hey Unit9Elk, good to meet you. I think a lot of folks ended up in Alder Cove and nearby coves to find cleaner water. We caught 12 mostly off our front lines vertical trolling, although my dad caught a couple early with jig and minnow. Was surprised to have any luck with inflow changes in the lake. We measured 60 degrees - maybe warmer water helped out.
A couple of those look to be over 2lbs. Nice catch post storm
We got 15 long poles in Alder with the fleet and as the photo shows , Rackmaster Ron got his first Arizona Crappy , Congratulations Ron ! The water was not Muddy in the coves or main lake at Yellow Cliff ramp, 61.85 at the end of my day 5 pm . Once again at the end of the day 3:30 pm on the fish turned on .
Way to go Ron!!!!
