Went to EF yesterday with my dad for a few hours. We probably caught 50 crappie during that time. Bite was active. Mostly minnows but jigs too. All white crappie. Downside is out of 50ish fish, I managed only 2 over 9" and they were barely over. We tried different depths and on the main lake and in the coves. Most places we tried, they were there but the size was disappointing. It was good to know they're still there in great numbers I just hope the recent kill didn't dis-proportionally affect the bigger ones. Even if that's the case, they'll grow.

I'll assume we just weren't fishing right for the keeper crappie and I'll be back next spring. But unless the water's high and muddy, I'll probably stick with the river for the rest of the year.
