Great pictures. Keep those reeds in mind for next crappie spawning season, they are the first things I look for when looking for spawning beds.

Got out for a little more dinking around last evening. Not much doing for the crappies, but we did manage a few nice bluegills. The breeding colors in the males are starting to fade, but we took one nice one that was almost black. We don't see them that dark up here very often. I had three biguns of some kind pick up my little panfish jigs. Never saw them and they just took off for the next country when they felt the hook. I had all of them on for a good 60 to 70 feet, but there was no way to turn any of them. One wrapped in the weeds pulling out the hook, another came unbuttoned from the size 8 I was throwing and the third broke off the 2# line I had to go to to fool the sunnies. I would have liked to have seen any one of them but they never got close enough to give me a look. Those were all on 1.25" plastic tails, too. You just never know what is going to pick up those little plastics next.
