Just want ya to know that the crappies are biting pretty good this morning and probably all day because the sun is not out. Caught about 50+ crappies and kept about 15 that were pretty good sizes. Since the water is back up high again, the crappies are moving close to the shore. I caught all of my crappies this year casting about 2-3ft left or right from the shore. Use mainly curly tail black/green or just green jig. Could have caught some more if i hadn't have to come home to go to work. Good luck ya.
