    I am no expert by far, but most of the fish have been cought in 1-3 ft of water lately. Seems the spawn is finally starting. With sunshine and near 80 degree temps all week, i would fish shallow on friday. Try shooting docks, grass beds and shallow brush. Good luck and Don't Catch em all!
    What's worse, to be in church wishing you were fishin' or to be fishin' and know you should be in church?

    Pulln, start out early fishing docks and bank brush, they are moving in. Don't stay anywhere too long. When the fishing slows around the bank start trolling 6-12 feet deep in water to 18 feet deep. When fishing the docks cast around the docks before moving in to fish the dock, most of the fish that I have caught from docks this week have been 5-25 feet from the dock in 3-6 feet of water.
    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    I had good success this morning throwing double jigs with no cork at the bank this morning. When I eased up to a gravel shoreline and began casting, I bet I caught a crappie on almost each cast till I had work em over pretty good. The males were very black, indicating the spawn is on. I would put in at Flat Swamp and work the shoreline....throwing or trolling with chart. jigs. As many crappies are staged up.... your son will be wore out if you troll many rods!!!

    Have A Crappie Day!!
