I too have said many times the best crappie fishing of the year is July and August. The thermocline sets up here in the north the first week of July. Sure enough, going out two weeks ago it was right on time.
Find the thermocline and the mid-lake structure that rises up just above the thermocline and it's fish on.


Many many, many fish on!

By myself this past Saturday caught 72 crappie, 25 yellow perch (the real perch), and a few white bass and pumpkinseeds. Only took home 12 crappie. That's enough.
