They Moved Back Into Deeper Water
This last storm system just killed the shallow bite where I fish. I went from catching 20-30 per day to almost nothing. I suspected they moved back to deeper waters and I noticed some guys in a boat fishing at depths of 8-12 feet catching large females about 60 feet from the bank. They were double-dipping jigs and doing really well. I suspect the crappie will move back in close to the bank over the weekend because the spawn isn't over. Half the females I cleaned 2 days ago still had eggs.
