A friend of mine and I did some lake hopping for crappies last week. The water temp ranged from 61 to 63 degrees. Most of the fish both gills and crappies were in 6 to 12 feet of water. One exception was a lake with some sort of hatch going on(Small fly like bugs all over the surface) The crappies were in 22 feet of water lurking over a mud bottom. The bite was extremely lite and we missed several bites. We did boat some nice slabs in the 11 to 13 inch range. 1/16 and 1/8 once inside head 1 1/2 inch tube jigs did the trick.
