If you're fishing the 20th - 21st, try to scrape up 10 lbs. That should be enough to win.

Should be improving. The water is finally where the corp wants it so the gates should be shut soon if not already. We;'ve been rapidly falling for a month. Tueday before last I was seeing some 60+ surface temps in the back of some creeks while crappie fishing. I did see on guy catch two nice bass casting deep of a ledge from the bank..one went over 4. I would expect the fishing to pick back up soon. I caught load of 13-16" fish this winter crappie fishing.

If the water warms, head to the very very back of Owl Creek. If the water isn't turqouise you're not there yet.

I just read the results from yesterday's Top 6 tournament. They're averaging LESS than 1 keeper per person! I'm not buying it. Even Belton can't be that suckie. I'm going to take off this afternoon and run down there. I'll give you a detailed first hand report on the fishing either this weekend or on Monday.

The Cowhouse and OwlCreek arms are very muddy. My wife and i took a trip down there this afternoon. We watched a few folks fish, mostly after catfish.
The forecast calls for rain tomorrow but i may still chance it up the Cowhouse arm. If you see a guy and his wife in a little green Coleman Crawdad jon boat say hey.
