High of 88 and no wind in North Mississippi may have contributed to the slow bite here.

I did manage to catch 12, but the 12" limit kept my take home down to only 6.

But even 6 crappie this size is a good day in my opinion.
I did notice that all of my 15" fish were males and the only females with eggs were LESS THAN 12"
Fished the same lake Saturday only kept 3 cause of to much wind! You did better than me!!

The larger females have already spawned. Yesterday was a bad day, but you pulled it out, congrats!
The 3 I caught sat where big females 14in or bigger still full of eggs.

Caught 4 yesterday, 1 slimer, 1 throwback, 2 keepers. One was a female still loaded with eggs, she was 14 1/2". Does anyone know why it's so tough right now?
Went today, 1 dink.
Sounds like y'all are in that same funky period we went through during the get together on Barnett. First big wave is spawned out and the next hasn't yet moved up. We were catching fish in ten foot of water that were dropping eggs.

I had a couple 16" females yesterday that were full and tight with eggs.Quote:

Caught some in 8 and some in 4 foot of water today. About half males and half females. All spawners. Bite was slow but when one hit he hit!
Wow! Nice crappie. They are going to make some nice fillets for sure.
Has the bite picked up any in the past 4 days?
She is on a slow rise, I hope we get about 6 inches of rain in the next week. Make it a lot more difficult when folks can't fish these visible brush piles and stake beds. Yep, she get to about 225 a lot of the folks on the bandwagon will go parade elsewhere. I haven't fished out there in a month or so, rode by this morning and only saw a hand full of boats.
It's been tough(for me) the last couple trips I've made. Especially on Mothers Day. Gotta good tan and melted some ice in the cooler, but only boated 4. Hope it picks back up soon
