I made a short trip today, found Crappie on the beds in four feet of water returning 16 that would measure along with a few shorts. The Gills were in the same area, but a little shallower. I ended up keeping a limit of big gills and shellcrackers. It was a great day to be on the water, one of those magical days where a fish hits every cast. Best bait was my old favorite a 1/32oz spinner with a white twister tail. I didn't bring my fish finder, so not sure on temperature. The males were dark with blood tails and a couple of the females were leaking eggs just from me handling them to unhook them. They should drop in the next couple days.

I'll leave the location unnamed so the Crappie can spawn in peace and I can get back on the gills in a few days.
