I don't think we even get a "pre-spawn" pattern at Clinton based on my lack of success over the years. I would like to know how others find a bite this time of year because I am really lost. I do fine during winter time finding fish and later when they move in shallow to spawn but the period of time we are in right now has always frustrated me. I think the crappie must scatter into much smaller groups and maybe suspend in the water column making them much more difficult to find and catch.. Just my theory!!

Sup dan. Did you work the dam at 1130 am or pm?

Get your boat on and shack off?

caught some surgers South side of Island first of the week trolling divers

Don, both are in the lake until APRIL 2nd then the shack comes out. It will take me that long to get everything transferred over to the boat.
