George what think I see you saying that Crappie won't really go after the bluegill and bass that much-fingerlings of course, rather they will compete with bass and blue gill for the shad and minnows.

Water temperature has been creeping up. Started taking temperature last week at 50 degrees and was up to 56 yesterday.

When it reaches 60 degrees I am going to start feeding.

The other question about crappie, what is a good recipe?
