Sure, why wouldn't it? I see you posted on Ksbuckeye thread, it sure sounded eerily similar now doesn't it. Or, how about my post on Milford was slow this morning? I had to trim my motor up out of the water to keep it out of the rocks. I was WATCHING them come up and swipe those baitfish. Yes, that's right, surfacing crappie. I've watched it other places also. If you want to know what it looks like, float off a dead minnow and watch, if they're there and your stealthy you'll see what I mean. I remember the minnow thing from when I was a kid, I'm 45 now and it took me that long to associate the two. I watched it last night on the river, sometimes all you'll see are lots of flashes just under the surface. When they come out to play, it's game on. Are you going to see this sitting on a deep brush pile? NO. This will only happen shallow, and yes I've seen it on the lake. You know the end of the rainbow is over you when you're watching this, I promise.
