They been active most of the time we've gone since last Nov. The last 2 years have been real good. We have had 1 down side this year we have a nighttime spot we fish from shore that's been a bust this year for some reason. The crappie we've caught the last few weeks have been real thick bodied fish we kept 25 of many last week to eat and they were mostly 12'' ers and real thick. Might try some bigger lures next time and try to catch a monster slab I'm sure there are some in there. Got alot going on the next few weeks (family functions , work, salt water fishing ) but we'll try to get with ya , we need to put some carpet down on the floor of Gducks jon boat it has more room for three to fish then my little jon. The crappie are hittin real close to the boat sometimes so we probably need the carpet to keep it quiet.My has carpet but its small for 3.
