This past week we ran into crappies from on the bottom in 20' to on top at the weedline, all off one dock in a single afternoon. Nothing concentrated, just a fish or two here and a couple there. We had to move around quite a bit to keep the bite going. Baits ranged from 2" twisters to inch and a half lil hustlers and rat-tailed shads, fished at a number of speeds. Color of bait mattered. Smaller size of tail was more productive, too. It seems like we are finding smaller separate pods of moving fish instead of a concentrated bite. But we are also seeing a lot of minnows and fry; so the eaters can't be very far away.

Hoping for a good soaking rain this weekend. Fresh water from any runoff should pick things up. It has been quite a while since we had new rain water of any quantity around here.
