Right now, if I were fishing Monroe with it still being 11 ft high, I would fish the flooded brush with either a jig under a bobber or even minnow attached and not stay in a place any longer than 5 minutes if I didn’t get a bite and hunt them as the bait fish are coming up and crappie will follow especially in this above normal warm temps we are having. If using longer rods, don’t use a bobber and doodle sock and flip for them. Pick away and you will snag maybe bigger crappie. If using electronics and you find schools deep in brush or tree tops, and you get them to hit, and find them small size, go find other schools to get the bigger fish. Also, lots of trees in the lake from banks erosion due to high water providing excellent cover for fish. Lots of ways to find them so take your time. They are there and slowly in a come back but you just have to peck away at them. Got the batteries installed on my boat and charging, but tomorrow is a friggin wind advisory of gusting wind as high as 40-50 mph gusts.
