How’d you catch all those fish!? Man. I gotta go try this. Lake I fished today was 58.5°. I hope I can find them on the bank like you. I’ve never seen anything like that! Those were quality crappie too! Thanks for all the tips.

My two favorite ways, short line jigging and slip corks in shallow waters.

I appreciate all you guys watching. Slick Rick they bite fast and furious when you find them. I typically have to find new groups like those everyday as they can get in and out quickly. So keep moving until you find them.

How did you know they were right up on shore there? Previous years' experience? Electronics?

Thank you for the insight.

So that particular day was my third day catching them in that area. However, I didn’t fish those particular spots on the other days nor had I ever caught them in that area in years past. I sometimes use my electronics to find them when there’s less cover for them to hide in. When there’s a lot of cover I just start fishing until I find them. I fish really fast when I’m looking covering as much water as I can. Once I get a bite I slow down until I find the nesting area. I hope this helps some.
