<br /> After being in Minneapolis this week in the snow, I decided to get out and enjoy the warm weather today. Got on the lake a little after 9 and decided to bass fish for a little while. Total waste of time. Fished a spawning flat that is usually good this time of year. Beat it to death for an hour with nothing. <br /> Gave up and went crappie fishing. Dock hopped most of the day and tried some spawning flats without a single fish. Fish were everywhere and no where at the same time. Some docks they were deep, some shallow, some in the middle, some on the posts, etc. I quit at 1:30 on crappie number 40. Had 11 keepers and brought some home for lunch and for my aunt. <br /> Water temp was 59-62 depending on where I was. Fish deep water docks next to spawning areas. Nice day to be on the water.
