They caught bass and bluegill down there and lots of gar.

The crappie and catfish are biting.

The water is on its way up right now at 4:40 p.m. Tuesday. It will be fully up by 7 p.m. and back down by morning.

I’ve been gone since Thursday. We went camping so I don’t have much.

I did have a guy in this morning. He’d been crappie fishing over at the south lake at Schell. He said that about five feet out they are catching a lot of small crappie. He said they caught three keepers on black and chartreuse plastic jigs.

I asked Sharon before they left. She said we didn’t have any campers so we didn’t get any information that way.

A guy said he was using cut shad and leeches on trotlines. I’ll get a report tomorrow.

The river looks down to me. I don’t think we got enough rain to stir it at all.

Fishing is slow.

They have been catching a few on trotlines up at Schell, I’d guess.

My brother and the guys went down to Uncle Carl’s at Warsaw and caguth a few. Not very many.

Some guy said the blue are on the nest.

Last week they came in and said they caught a few on and off at Caplinger.

We went down to Blackjack the other night and I caught a blue that weighed about five pounds. We caught gar and turtles.
