On Monday I hit a dock and a stick up both in 10 FOW right after rain. Monday was 15-20 with most being keepers around 11-12 inches. They were all caught flipping to the dock or stick and letting if fall. All on Thunp Buddy old faithful on a 1/16 round unpainted head.
Yesterday 5/13 I went to the opposite end of the lake right after the storms cleared. I hit 8 different docks and 6 of them were holding fish. The docks were in anywhere from 4FOW to 12 FOW. Same jig and presentation as Monday but caught twice as many fish. The problem was that only 5 were keepers and barely at that all other fish were 9-9.5 inches. Being relatively new to the crappie it seems the dock bite stops right at sunset, do they move out to open water as darkness sets in?
Same lake as last posts.
