The lilacs are just starting to open up here. They say that when that happens, crappie start moving to shore, getting ready to spawn. Hope they are, and also hoping that we don't get a cold front to mess it up.

A boat load of small males the last 2 days at Shenango. They are sitting along the shorelines on the drop offs. Did pick up 4 really nice males, no females yet. The big males were buried right in the brush on the bottom. They didn't chase the jig and tail. You had to drop it right on their nose.
Do you think that minnows might help?
They did yesterday but I was drifting a flats where casting a jig isn't very productive. I had better luck with medium minnows. Today was casting to shallows along the shore line, easier to use a jig and tail.
Yep, this time of year, medium minnows is the ticket, if you need to use them. I only go to small, after I see small ones swimming in the lake, along the shore line, probably about late June, or early July.
