Crappie haven't left their summer pattern lake wateree 8-26

The crappie are still right where they are supposed to be. An hour before sunrise found them on brushpiles on a drop off for the main channel in 18fow. Every crappie was 14" then moved to deeper structure around 25 fow and caught some smaller ones. Finished the day with 13 keepers not counting smalls. 4-5 of these were 15" and bigger. I promise this is my last trip until I return from Minnesota.

Nice catch, you hook the minnow through the lips I'm guessing? Thanks for posting, makes me want to go even more, getting ready for deer season is taking all my time tho :banghead

nope i always hook through meat of back tightlining, mouth when i longline with jigs. I hear you on deer hunting, i will be more focused on that when i return from mn end of sept.
