The crappies seem to be scattered in all depths right now on Madison. I found a couple of deep schools with smaller fish in them - 20-25 foot. I was able to catch a few as well in 10-12 foot. Haven’t had much luck shallow yet but haven’t given it enough time. Water temps seem to be between 49-52 as of April 27th

Had a tournament on Madison/Washington lakes. Frogs were the hot bait for me, especially once the sun came out. Working them over thick vegetation produced many fish in the 16" range. This allowed me to place in the top ten in a loaded field.

Was a slow day, but I was able to pick up a couple small pike with a shadow rap over the top of some weeds. Recreational boat traffic was through the roof.
