Crappie are still spawning at Shenango lake

Don’t stop looking shallow yet. The spawn is running a little late this year. I’m still catching them in 6 foot water right on or next to wood. The gills are making their beds too. They don’t run very big but are still fun to catch. This heatwave has the lake level falling daily. I hope it doesn’t fall too much more. Could hurt next years class of fish.

They’re still shallow as of yesterday. Put a nice stringer of crappies together

Trouble with pulling cranks are the white bass and strippers will out number the crappies by 10 to 1. Got to add the large cats to.

nice stringer there mister .....KABOOM is the word

Pulled spoons this morning. 5 crappies, none over 12 inches. 3 strippers, 1 cat, and a 22# 4 oz. muskie. All on a green and orange 4 1/2 inch spoon. 1.7 mph- 2 mph in 12-14 fow.

Fished yesterday. Tried a few old summer spots that I have marked. Brushpiles have deteriorated quite a bit but some still held fish. Twelve foot seemed to be best but got a few good ones in nine also. Caught and released over thirty fish in a little over three hours. Got hot fast so I called it a day with a dozen keepers. Gonna check a few more older gps marks this morning. Bobby garland jigs and pourhouse custom jigs are doing well.
