I trolled cranks for about three hours today generally staying in 20-35 feet of water and looking for suspended fish. It was a weird and mixed up catch today. 1 White bass, 1 striper, 4 spots, and 5 crappie. I brought home four crappie to eat, but none of the fish I caught were very big. The recent storms have the lake up still and the fish were hugging the bottom for the most part. I probably should have used a different technique to catch more crappie, but I really like trolling. The water temperature has been pushed back down to the low to mid 60's for the part of the lake that I fished and all of the crappie I kept had eggs.

Can someone tell me what's going on with the spawn this year? I thought the crappie would be all done with the spawn by this time of year and water temperature.

Have a great spring, JayW
