April crappie report 4/6/23

Phil and I had a great start to our fishing day as we had a 15 fish limit in less than one hour, then the fish became extremely shy and we fished 4 more hours for 10 more keepers leaving us 5 short of a double limit.

The fish were shallow the first hour then drew back into 10-12 feet of water and closed the mouth. The bite turning slow coincided with the end of the solunar movement period for our area. So maybe this was a natural occurrence.

Water temp on surface was 66 degrees and we had glassy surface all morning as we finally had a morning without strong winds.
