Peke, the good news is that the Summer, Fall and Winter Crappie fishing can be better than the Spawn. The last two years, I've done better in Summer and early Fall than I have during the spawn. Hoping this year will be the same! If you want to learn how to catch 'em in the Summer, give EB a call. His website is LakeEufaulaCrappieFishingGuide.com. You'll be amazed at where you'll be fishing when it's 100 outside! Fish will be 3 to 5 ft.
