Report is a few days late, but went out Thursday to Acton.

First time in about 5 years since I hadn't done much for crappie there and it's quite a drive for me being in N.KY.

Anyway - got there early afternoon and wind was absolutely brutal. We moved to the other side of the lake where we were a little sheltered and thankfully the wind died down as the day went on.

They are starting the spawn. I'm sure this is the same across all the area lakes now.
We were doing pretty good in 5 feet of water around brush but the best fishing was putting a cork on a jig and fishing only a foot down and casting as far into the bank as we could. White female had eggs and the males were darkened up.

Average size was pretty darn good. We caught some dinks and the largest was around 13" but most fish were between 10" - 12".

Sorry no pics. Everything was catch and release.


It was amusing to watch a raccoon along the bank trying to catch some of the male crappie who were in there splashing around in a foot of water. He never did get one as far as I could see.
