Planning on coming up Saturday thru Tuesday to do a lil crappie fishing, first trip this year was wondering if they were still spawning or if they have done their thing and moved back off the beds. Haven't seen many reports lately and was just wondering, thanks for any info:)
Spawn is done - might be a straggler here and there.
iid say the spawn is done,if everything works out i will be fishing bigsandy tomorrow,it will be the first time i have had my boat out all year:biggrin
Leave the boat up and save gas. You can't catch 'em anywho.Quote:

Thanks for the replies guys, I had a buddy that fished shallow mats in the swamp creek and cow pasture areas with no luck. He ended up goin towards country junction trollin jigs tipped with a minnow and caught 12 keepers and a few shorts. Not enough good reports for me to drive that far when I can go to reelfoot and catch a mess. Maybe the wife and I will get to come up memorial day weekend and get a few hours of fishing in....
Brenda and I stopped by the pumphouse to count boats. There were a bunch of small craft trailers in the park lot. Most were fishing the dewatering area behind the dam/dyke.
I wanted to just hook up my Jon Boat and go join them, but I am on my way to the VA via Tunica. Hard times.
i didnt make it today,theirs always tomorrow:crazy:

Ended the day with twelve good fish trollin minnows in 8 foot of water five foot down...
