We smoked them on swim jigs and chatter baits, caught close to 100 and almost 18 pounds. The biggest one was 4.5 and caught a few close to 4 as well. I was fishing the warmest bays with the muddiest bottoms. The fish were schooled in certain areas.

Crappies flooding into shallow bays protected from the wind. Look for submerged vegetation or fallen trees in 3-5 fow. Leave the minnows at home - fish compact soft plastics on light jigs 2 feet beneath a float. Perfect bite to share with a kid!

Had them schooled up shallow on the weed flats with stumps on them. I was burning a swim jig over the top and also dropping it in the holes and near the stumps. The majority of the fish in the lake were this shallow and it was a blast.
