TH- We have been finding a bunch of morrels as well. 60-100 at a time. Not a bunch in any one spot, but a couple here and a couple there, all over. Enough that I quit looking and have been giving them away. I just wish the crappie collecting was as easy as the mushroom collecting has been.

Dude we caught the hell out of crappie, bream, and bass over on the HFA the other day.

Truman is 9'+ over normal pool, and is a mess. I have heard LoO is having a much more normal crappie run.

Bream you say.. :mrgreen: it doesn't get much more southern than that.

A buddy of mine caught the piss out of crappie and whites below the dam at Truman (L of O) on Wednesday. I'm not sure that they were running water. He was in his boat. Said they slayed them. This guy, however, can catch fish when no one else can.

Below Truman is either really good or not good. When they are running water its usually always good. Otherwise don't waste your time for the most part. At least that has been my experience there.

At Truman, I fished with two old retired guys one of which fish's 200+ days per year, and they are stymied as to what is happening with the crappie. The few we caught were males and in black spawning colors, but man they were few and far between, as well as being everywhere between 2-10' deep. Closest we came to a pattern was catching 3 in one cove.
