I've been too busy to fish much and the freezer is full, but I had similar results in late winter/early spring as the last few years on Lake Wheeler. Most fish were 12 to 14 inch white Crappie. There was a reasonable amount of smaller fish mixed in to make the future years look good. The one difference I noticed is the Crappie were spawning deeper. The first two years that I fished Alabama the Crappie were in 18 to 24 inches of water during the spawn. This year I found fish spawning in 4 to 6 feet of water. Not sure what the difference was or if I just looked till I found them and they were deeper?

I hope to start chasing them in the shallows again in June and July when I have more time.
