I was actually targeting crappie, but didn't locate them. I ended up catching Smallies instead. 16in, 15in, and a couple more around 11in. During the mid afternoon with strong sun they were underneath floating vegetation near shore. Later I found some in a rock pile. Calm weather.

Fun evening catching bass in the Snake River. This was actually a spot along the Snake River near Celebration Park, not C J Strike. The small bass(10-12 inches) loved this Red Tiger Crankbait. Never found the bigger ones, but this area is not known for monster smallies.
