Kinda makes you wonder if you could slip cork a jig or shiner around the spawning shad and catch crappie

Most of the time you can do that. Especially around the rocks. But you also run into sandies. We went up there looking, but it was very shallow. Inches deep. there were small black bass up there and we heard the sand bass came up later. We fooled around there a bit and then went back to crappie fishing. lol

Shad must be spawning at Bardwell, as I saw sandies blowing then up in about a foot of water Sunday.

Kinda muddy in some spots, stained in others and downright clear in others. We could see a mudline in some of the places. It was all over the place. Yep, didn't get a pict of the orange jig cause we lost them all... or the fish ate 'em. We kinda went old school with BES and black char, once we lost all the orange.

Post spawn pattern is pretty well State wide as it is every year this time The shallow bite is over for keepers verses legals We are on deep summer mode and finding alot of really nice fish 15-20FOW on small structure instead of bulk brush or Christmas trees piles Deeper Summer is coming,start looking for them now as they stage up into that pattern

I'm finding the same thing on Lewisville. Brushpiles are loaded with little ones, and seems like the small baits are working better. Thanks for sharing.
