Fished the upper end again yesterday and ended up with a limit of black and white crappie. Had 6 blacks and 9 whites to make my limit. The crappie were very inactive and holding close to wood. Cast and dragging over wood didn't work at all for the bigger fish and not a single keeper fish was caught deeper than 8' with most coming from the 5' to 7' DOW and really scattered. If you fished anything deeper than 8' it had smaller fish in it and alot of them most of the time. Method yesterday was sitting right on top of the wood and hitting the log or limb and holding it there not moving it at all til a strike occured. Tried Crappie Candy to promote a strike but the little cats would not leave me alone so I stopped that really quick. Water temps are cooling down and dropped 5 degrees since Friday and was 80 degrees yesterday. A few more mornings in the 60's and higher 50's those fish will start moving and bunching up alil more I believe and start feeding heavy to get ready from the colder months ahead. When that happens they will be relating to wood and rocks on the channel breaks forsure and isolated wood and rocks on clean banks which makes for perfect ambush points of bait fish......Ranger
