Started at 6:00am....was culling my 7:30. Water was 44 degrees here last week and now is 48. Took the day off work. Back home, fished cleaned, and batteries charging for maybe tomorrow pending wind! Lime green head with pink flank is still hot. Chartreuse head pink body and white satin tail was a close second.

Now, that's a nice mess of fish.

Nice pile of crappie.

Good day out! Our water is in the 70s. Fish are in post spawn mode. We had a 6 inch rain right in the middle of the spawn that really screwed up the fishing!

Thanks Guys....RD it is amazing to think about the difference in water temp between your area and IL. Quite a spread of temps. Today predicting 25 to 30 mph wind so I am out!

Very nice jig and catch, congrats.

I see you found a couple of white crappie among that mess of big ole bigguns. How deep were they?

Nice catch PB!

AR.....most were at 14ft to 16ft. Spider rigging and they were suspended about 3ft off bottom. Running double 1/16oz rigs with 2oz bank sinkers for bottom.
