Here's my advice...don't go.
Florida bass + cold weather/water + bad day of fishing.
Go to Ouachita instead...
Heading to Ouachita to do some driving around. Havent been to the lake since early Oct.

Fishing is much more than casting and retrieving and playing your catch. It's the wind in your face and the sound of wakening birds as the sun peeks over the horizon. It's discovering the magic in each new place and unlocking the mysteries that lure above and below the surface.

Ron what ramp you puttin in at? Ill be at Brady at the COE ramp Saturday and Sunday
2017 Tracker Pro Team 17 TXW 60hp 4stroke
Anybody been to crystal springs? How does the ramp and lake look?
Ramp is fine...lake is LOW...looks like Lake Conway coming out of the shoot. Be careful.
That's what I'm worried about i Don't want to mess up my lower unit or boat
Mt. Harbor ramp is probably OK, as well as Brady Mtn. Like the others have said, the lake is low. There is stuff sticking up that has not been seen in a long long time.
Be careful where you go!
See ya, HatfieldHog
What do y'all think they will be biting? I was thinking a a big pig and jig or a 10-12" worm. I wouldn't think they were ready for rogues yet. Any opinions/ suggestions?
prime time for a jerkbait....now until spawn....need about 3 rod on your deck right now....jig, jerkbait, jig-head with a finesse worm....
Yea I like a big jig jerkbait and shaky head worm. Have y'all ever used lizards much. I hav heard they were good in spring but I have never caught anything with them. Same goes for crankbaits I can't catch a fish on those to save my life
U are right. Lake is big time low. Lots of pockets you can not get into. I mostly drove around yesterday to see where I could and couldnt get into. Talked to some folks at the Crystal ramp when I was leaving. Not many good fishing reports to report. Eveyone complaining how tough it was.
Need to be carefull not to do boat damage.
However, If the lake comes up 2-3 feet, will be more issues if you dont know where to run as all the trees then will be just under the surface waiting for a prop or skeg.

Yea went to shangri la today and it wasn't to bad till twin creeks and MFN harbor the other. Talked to a couple guys at the ramp who caught quite a few bass but not any crappie. Which I'd rather catch bass anyway
