Fished C5 today from 1:30 pm to 7:00. I started drilling holes on the left side (road side) and the first thing that I noticed was that the water was stained real bad, kinda had the color of tobbacy juice. Kept drilling holes looking for some depth and was working our way south when after about the 6th hole, the water cleared up. Fished in the clear for a bit, then moved back into the cove a little bit and hit the stained water again. The reason that I ask this, is that the last time that I fished C5 was about a week and a half ago and the water did not have the stain to it. Am I wrong and it's always been this way and I'm just loseing my mind?  Oh, we caught a few dink gills and about a dozen crappies, but none were keepers.

Yea, went out yesterday from 2 to 7 and only heard the coyote's singing just before dark. Could only manage 1 bite. Marked a bunch, but it seemed liked my maggots must have sprayed them when they got close. The search continues.

Ok, thanks for the responce, and I'll do a wait and see.

I was just wondering if that date is set in stone? Reason that I'm asking is that there is another tourny at wingfoot on sat the 22nd. Would love to do both, but back to back. Might be a little tough. Just wondering if anybody else is planning for the same thing?
