10/11/06 - Lake Greeson - Kept 28-Crappie up to 14.5-inches, a Black Bass, a Walleye and two Bream caught on Rosey Red minnows from 12 to 18-feet deep over bamboo condos and brushpiles on points that extend into deep channels. Surface temp was 70-degrees at sunrise and the lake level is down slightly to 536-feet. We saw a pair of Bald Eagles and a flock of Coots.

10/10/06 - Lake DeGray - A friend and I scouted the bamboo condos we've dropped in the last few weeks and caught some nice Crappie up to 14-inches on 7 out of the first 8 we fished. We used Rosey Red minnows and 1/32-ounce gray/silver/gray and white/red/chartreuse Slater's hair jigs fishing 12 to 14-feet deep. Fished some of the shallower brush piles that have been producing and only caught the two smallest keepers there and a few Black Bass. Surface temp was around 73-degrees and the lake level is down to 396.62-feet. Saw an immature Bald Eagle and watched an Osprey hit the water several times without catching a fish.

10/9/06 - Lake Hamilton - Kept 11-Crappie up to 15-inches, a Walleye, 2-Yellow Bass and some Bream and released about 20 small Black Bass and Bream all caught on Rosey Red minnows about 15-feet deep over brush piles on points. Surface temp was 72-degrees at sunrise.

10/8/06 - Lake Greeson - Kept 37 - 10-inch to 16-inch Crappie, a Walleye and a Bream that was gut-hooked all caught on Rosey Red minnows fished 12 to 16-feet deep on bamboo condos on points that extend into deep channels. Surface temp was 70-degrees at sunrise and the lake level appeared to be steady.

10/7/06 - Lake Greeson - Kept about 50-Crappie (15 more than we could get in our picture), 2-Walleye and several Black Bass and released about 25 small Crappie, Black Bass, Bream and a Catfish all caught on Rosey Red and Common Fathead minnows fished from 8 to 19-feet deep on brushpiles and bamboo condos on points and drop-offs. Surface temp was 71 degrees when we started and the lake level appeared to be steady. Saw a flock of about 20-Wild Turkeys feeding along the shore.

10/6/06 - Lake Greeson - Kept about 28-Crappie, 2-Walleye, 2-Black Bass and a few Bream caught on Rosey Red Minnows fished 12 to 19-feet deep on brushpiles and bamboo condos on drop-offs and points that extend into creek channels. Released about 20 smaller Crappie, Bass and Bream. Surface temp was 74 to 77-degrees and the lake level was 536.07. Watched a mature Bald Eagle and an immature Bald Eagle lock talons high in the air and tumble down until they went out of site behind some trees on a ridge, which apparently is part of their mating ritual.

10/5/06 - Lake Greeson - Bite was a bit slow probably due to the passing of a cold front last evening. Kept 22-Crappie from 10 to 13.5-inches and a Bream and released several smaller Crappie, Bream and Black Bass. Caught most fish on Rosey Red minnows fished from 12 to 18-feet deep on points and drop-offs in 15 to 25-feet of water but caught several of our better Crappie jigging a 1/4-ounce Silver Kastmaster Spoon. Surface temps ranged from 77 to 79-degrees and the lake level fell to 536.08. We saw four Wild Turkeys and two Bald Eagles.

10/4/06 - Lake DeGray - Sank the four bamboo/bucket condos we built Sunday and built and sank four bamboo/cement block condos with the help of a couple friends. Fished for about 2-hours and kept 25-Crappie from 10 to 13.5-inches and released several smaller Crappie and small Black Bass. Black/Orange/Chartreuse and White/Red/Chartreuse 1/32-ounce hair jigs were as productive as minnows and the bite was much more aggressive than the last several days possibly due to an approaching cold front. We caught fish from 4-feet to 12-feet deep on established brushpiles on channel drop-offs. Surface temps were around 75-degrees and the lake level was steady at 396.94-feet. We watched a couple Ospreys catch some fish.

10/3/06 - Lake Greeson - Kept 26 Crappie up to 14.5-inches and a small Black Bass that had swallowed the hook and released about 15 small Black Bass and Bream. Fished Rosey Red minnows from 12 to 15-feet deep on bamboo/bucket condos that we put in within the last 3-weeks. The bite was very light again and we missed as many fish as we caught because they would let go as soon as the float would start to go under. Surface temps were around 76-degrees and the lake has fallen to 536.62-feet.

10/2/06 - Lake Greeson - Fished with a couple friends and caught over 30 Crappie from about 10 to 14-inches long and a few small Black Bass fishing around 15-feet deep on bamboo/bucket condos on creek channel drop-offs in 18 to 26-feet of water. Only caught a couple on jigs and they were real picky about taking the minnows. Small Rosey Reds about 1-inch long were most productive and most fish wouldn't take the float all the way under. Surface temps were around 75-degrees and the lake level is steady at 537.02-feet.

10/1/06 - Lake DeGray - Sank the four bamboo/bucket condos we built yesterday and built four more. Did some scouting around and found some decent Crappie willing to take a jig 6 to 10-feet deep on a secondary creek channel drop-off. Surface temps were around 75-degrees.

9/30/06 - Lake DeGray - Afternoon - Sank the bamboo/bucket condos we built last Wednesday and built four more. Scouted around a bit and found some Crappie from 4 to 6-feet deep on drop-offs.
