OK, yesterday evening we caught 7 keepers in 2ft. of water around brush and weeds. The fish were scattered and could not find a mother load of crappie to limit out on. Hopefully this is just the begining of the spawn.

It's actually slowed way down in the last week for me,went from catching lots of big slabs to caching a few dinks here and there.in 1-4 fow

+1 ^

lol...well maybe I caught the tale end of it...figures seems like I miss it every spring...oh well guess its time for me to try for channel cats.

You did catch the tail end. I caught all males two weekends ago, nearly all males last weekend and mix of females and males this weekend. It's all but over. This is the third weekend I caught them shallow. I haven't been able to fish for months, but loaded the freezer the past couple of weeks. I had to work for fish harder today. Big fish this year. Caught a 16" fish last Sunday.

Yea and I dont know were there at when they go deep at Arlington. I have fished all around the docks south of the Bowman Springs ramp with not one crappie in the past. Maybe the channel cat spawn will be better for me. I just got out there too late this year again for the crappie. Always seem to be too busy with everyday life to get out and fish as much as I would like.

Caught crappie shallow and deep saturday morning. Anywhere from 2-22ft. There are still some hard thumping males in the grass near the mouth 0f the creek and we picked a few large females up on structure in deep water. They were still full of eggs though. New water has them a little spread out i think but I doubt its over.

It's weird this year. I killed them one day and not a bite the next day at the same spot.

Hope your right fishing_ken.

This! Had 19 keepers on Sunday all caught in 2 to 7 FOW. Big females still chalked full of eggs and some really dark males.

Stucky, I saw you trying to get on a brush pile. My wife was asking what you were doing.

Yeah man, I thought I saw something good and circled a bunch it was just bass on a ledge. Though about trying it and thought they may be female crappie but decided against it. Were you in that camo aluminum? How'd you do?

That was me. I did far better on the other side of the lake. Took home 13, but it has slowed way down for me. I crushed them for two weeks.

Nice report, thanks.

let check my cell....nope no missed calls from Pope1,lol!
