My electric drill started to heat up and I thought it was going to catch fire and burn out at one point. Learned my lesson and only drilled half way, then cleared the hole to that point, then punched the rest of the way through.
I figured that out too. Have to clear those cuttings about halfway to the soft water. If you do that, everything is fine.
Wiper hunter-
I think they are drawing down water in a lot of the smaller reservoirs to prepare for spring runoff this year. That is the case at RP, perhaps it is the same at PV.
I’m a firm believer in glow lures too. If a person recharges them often, I really see a difference in the catch rate. Crappie have been a bit different this year in my experience. Fishing has been best an hour before dark to an hour after. It slows down after that, but it’s usually consistently slow. There is usually a more or less “dead time” somewhere between 8:30-9:30. I really think glow works though!
