The fish have been pretty tight lipped everywhere the past few days.  Think that cold front confused them a tad.  Lotsa lookers no takers :(

I noticed the same down here.  Lotsa lookers but tight lipped.  I thought it was me but at least I know I've got company.

Yeah I agree with Crappie Buster this past week the fish really aren't too interested at all.  The week before though I would catch quite a few crappies (like over 10) in a day and this last week I would only go home with 5.  But I guess that at least I went home with 5 as it could have still been worse.

I fished it Saturday,and got 11 perch. They hit good when they came through. I didn't catch a thing after dark. They were there, but just wouldn't bite.

Going to Cornelia this Saturday and this will be my first trip up there.  Wondering in what general area should I drill my first hole?

anywhere on the north or west side you will mark fish. Getting them to bite is another story. Good luck!
