Took a ride to North Saulty 72 had fishermen on it but no fish.79 bridge had 2 men fishing one person had 10 or so all on minnows all caught early.Took a trip to 69 later on covered up with fishermen but the crappie were sloooow.I did see some really nice slabs ,one guy was lucky when everyone else gave what crappie they had to him.Tube jigs seem to be the bate black AND yellow.

I used to fish the 79 bridge over North Sauty 4-5 times a week and if you didn't find fish, you likely weren't fishing deep enough....lots of smallish fish this time of year along with some keepers but you may have to count your jig down to 15-18 feet to get them. most everyone I see there seem to only want to fish 7-8 ft deep. count that jig down if you don't find them shallow. Ive caught hundreds there on many occasions....water is still a little warm for the real slabs to be numerous but there should be action deep. also lower a minnow to the bottom and then reel it up a couple of feet. if the rod tip wobbles at all set the hook.
