    Default Crappie in the rain


    Went out for a few hours this morning, nothing on cranks. Can't find them schooled up anywhere. Took 2 little 9" off a falling tree with a small jig and gulp minnow. Dang rain run me off the lake ,it was filling the boat up. Maybe they'll turn on soon .

    The bird had his limit in 25 minutes this morning, but then he's good.

    This time last year I was getting limits every other day, This year after the flooding all the structure has been moved by strong currents, now if I could find it again I'd be in business. I got a feeling it's all piled up in 40' water .

    Nopers- mostly a 8th oz jig 12-18" under a cork. It was every cast for a while. When you find them this time
    Of year it's pretty easy.
