The water depth was between 1-2 ft. There was submerged branches, logs, and dead milfoil around the docks. The crappie was around 10.5 inches near many bait fish such as small sunnies, bass, and minnows. They are in the process of spawn setup and may have only a few crappies already spawning. The deepest point in the area was around 6 ft in the center of the e channel and had a fast drop from shore. I also caught a few 6+ inch sunnies and 6 bass between 10 and 13 inches.

Best results were on milfoil that was starting to grow and fishing slow. All the bites were on the pause and super soft in roughly 7-10 feet.

Fish frogs slow around docks and cattails. Fish the swimbait in similar areas where you see a lot of sunfish. Look for the warmest water.
