Cranberry Glade

Surprised to hear it still had ice then. Was there a lot?

I'm going to head out tomorrow, try for some pike. Just assumed it would be open by now. Last year at this time I caught 3 big perch, 1 hit a 6 inch jointed rapala. How do you fair on crappie there? I do C&R, but there fun to catch! Can't stand cleaning them. Mags, I have yet to catch one there. Last time I was there was early Feb, 12+ inches of ice and frozen slush.

Cranberry is wide open now. I only made a few casts as it was windy and cold with no bites.  Did see 5 dead largemouth's either over the spill way or along the breast. All were probably from 16 to 19 inches long.

Did pass a vehicle on the way in that was towing a boat coming from the lake but have no idea if they were actually fishing there.

Water seemed a little cloudier than normal to me.

I went to Donegal yesterday assuming the wind was gonna be gale force up at there...  It was windy still but then I moved over to Mammoth Park and all in all yesterday was a dozen panfish and 1 stocker rainbow...  Ya, the dead LMB doesn't surprise me, last year this time I was up there and threw like 1 or 2 casts in and nailed a 10-12" Crappie, and my gf was just walking around and spotted about a 18-20" Largemouth carcass right maybe 1' off the spill way concrete that was pretty dead and there for a while but I think that comes from they get washed over and there's nothing to sustain them espically with as cold as the water is and how fast it moves from high/flood to normal right under the spill way.  But 3-5 isn't bad (well it is but) there are so many hogs in that lake... I was there last summer and saw a girl who was no older then 10 fishing with a clicker catch a hog that had to weigh 6-7lbs...  But, as for weeds... That is good... Gotta fish them weedless Texas rigs and them topwaters...
