All ice went away Monday . We fished yesterday and put together a good limit of crappie. They have left there winter homes already following the shad back in major creek arms for a easy meal and warm water. At one time we had water temps. in the high 40's close to 50 in some places. When cleaning the fish I examined the stomachs and everyone was full of shad. Looks like the 3 inch shad was on the menu for the most part. The fish look healthy. Some were on the skinny side but with a good appetite and should rebound nicely. This could be expected with the cold and 10 inch of ice plus the snow cover for the hole month of February.
