Screw the spawn. Chasing them around with a cork is a pita. I like them all grouped up in winter and summer so I can spot lock and wipe out the whole school.....

Not to mention they disappear every time the slightest from rolls in. Especially early in the season. Seems like they’ll come poke around for a day and then a little front rolls through and they bail.

I prefer them on boat docks or bridge pilings, I can never find the shallow in the lakes around me.

Went to aquilla yesterday just to fish from the bank for a couple of hours. Where alot of fish are usually caught from the bank I never got a bite. Minnow and jigs did not work. YET.
Life journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved state.
But rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy carp what a ride!"

In the Longview area they were in shallow water today.
Water temp 62 in different parts of the lake not just north end.
Kept 26 but caught many more.

Well I caught some 30 crappie on minnows and jigs. Jigs caught more by 2-1. Blue body, white tail and metalflake was the best but caught fish on every color I tried. Also caught some 20 bass mostly between 12 and 15 inches. Almost all the crappie were males. Spotted a huge over three pounder and tempted her with jigs and rubbed a minnow all over her face but no dice. Kept four crappie. Had a good time for sure. Less than three feet of water and nests were inches from shore. North west shorelines were best.
