That’s kinda what I’ve been hearing, still not moved into the shallows.
Up here I’m finding them in Creek mouths suspended over the tops of shoreline blowdowns on steep banks in pretty deep water. But our water surface temps are 46 to 50-ish. They’re pretty lethargic and the few I’ve caught I barely felt the bite.
I Love Stumphole, what few times I’ve been there, and I know Crappie get back in there but there in lies the mystery to me; out of several hundred thousand trees, which ones hold fish? Lol. Anyway the weather is too pretty to pass up & if I can drag my carcass out of the sack early enough I’ll drive down for the day. I don’t care what I catch and if I get skunked I’ll enjoy puttering around in the swamp.
Thank you for the reply Inkdabber!
