Things looking better for the crappie. Did not get to fish long today but did get to fish a few docks on the way in from building brush and caught a few deep under the docks. Lots of stain up the lake which will be a good thing. The fish were as deep in the shade as possible. All our bites were at least 15 ft deep using the popeye jig. Once we would get away from the deepest shade nothing. If we get good weather next week like they are saying, I imagine the guys who fish for crappie seriously will be catching a 100 or more a day.

Man - Looks like Ill be bringing my crappie rods. Capt do you use 4-6lb test with those jigs? Do you also concectrate on the north end? THats seems to be where I see all the reports from.

4lb. I stay on the north end but you can catch them on the south end.

Thanks Capt.

One more. What time of day did you catch them? Thanks for the report.

I have been fishing for crappie seriously and catch either zero, one or two fish per trip. WTH am I doing wrong!?

We were out after lunch. About to head out again today around noon.

Im gonna give it a go with minnows and jigs on Sunday, Hopefully the water will have warmed enough to turn them on.

I have been busy making baits for spring and with the recent weather and reports from friends I just have not had much motivation to get out there. But Capt. Clay is right, next weeks stable weather should get a good bite going and more reason to get back out there. I plan to start hitting them daily on friday in to next week. trolling in the morning on hitting the docks after the sun gets up good. Look for steep rocky banks to warm up and hold the heat in for them and they should be there

Thanks Micro! I need to pick up some jigs from you. Do you have any at Oakwood?
