    It's never really over, they're still there somewhere.
    I was out Wednesday too and man it was tough. I took a guy's son who leaves for the Air Force Academy in late June. I figured what the heck, get him out for a little fun before duty calls. (somehow he got the impression I'm a fishing God). He's never crappie fished before and only has limited experience with catfish a few times when he was a kid. I brought minnows just in case...
    1st spot we hit, I killed them last week and it was dead.
    2nd spot wasn't much better but a least we got a few. Had a couple of decent fish but just not much action.
    3rd & 4th spots were kind of like the 1st spot.
    By now it's not looking too good, we're running out of time.
    We only had about 1 1/2 hours left and I made another move to my 5th spot. Bingo it was game on, both decent size and good numbers. We did get a mix of blacks and whites. I didn't notice as many whites with eggs but we did get a few blacks that still had their tux's on and had bloody tails. I did find that strange.
    Crappie do move quite a bit through out the year. They're always eager to hit ya just got to find them.

    I'm hoping to get him out a few more times before he leaves next month.

    No God here not even a mere saint, actually more of a sinner, but anyway A friend and I fished Acton today 7:30 to 12:30 probably boated 60 fish took home 7 90% were caught along the banks, a couple guys said they were getting bigger size in deeper water. Of the 7 I cleaned I didnt see any egg sacks, a few weeks ago everyone I cleaned was full of eggs. We tryed a variety of color jigs but BG's Mo Glo pink heads with Red and silver sparkly grubs won today.
    Next time out I will try 1/8th oz heads and deeper water, ive caught some of my biggest Crappie in June
