With this falling water the fish are scattering. Not nearly as many on the brushpiles I scoped today. Took me longer but I still etched out a limit of fat black crappies.Quote:

Water is still falling. Going up in the morning and livescoping some brushpiles to see if they’ve scattered out even more.Quote:

That would concentrate the fish even better if you know where the deeper holes with brush are. Did good today. Had 13 keepers within the first hour then it slowed way down. Two of us. Finished with 28 keepers. Caught over 80 fish tho.Out at 7:30, off the water at 11:30. Wind picked up or we’d have stayed longer. I want to check a different area out tomorrow.Quote:

Had a really good day on the lake today. Neighbor asked me if I’d catch her some fresh fish and she’d trade me a nice pasta dinner for them. Couldn’t turn down that trade. First two crappies were my two biggest of the day. Both over 13. Pulled one more good one from that spot before I moved. Second spot gave up two more keepers but the third spot was on fire. Ten foot deep in fourteen foot was magical. Caught over forty fish and most of them almost 11 inches. Kept my 15 to finish my limit and left them still biting. Hope they stick around. That was fun catching a fish on every cast.
