Just hot!!! Not bothered at all!!! I sure don't mind braving the heat for a few slabs! Hard to find, but we eventually found quite a few.. Vertical jigged 10-12 ft deep... They wanted it ABSOLUTELY STILL!!! The only movement they liked was the fall down... Kept 35 crappie and a bass, and Saturday we kept 36 crappie.... Ain't no telling how many we threw back... I used jigs I tied and parents used midsouth tubes...
