Crappie were a little tough to find today. I managed 25 over 10”. They only seemed to be in the deeper timber. Water is down to 38 degrees. Caught them jigging Bobby Garland soft plastics and hair jigs.

Went fishing with a friend a while back. Mostly casting around the rocks at Riccenger. Caught around a dozen crappie and a few white bass. Most crappies were over 10”. John Deere was the color of the day.

I was dropping a jig down to about 10-15ft over suspended schools near brushpiles and standing timber. I was alternating between that and using a cork and jig combo. My cork is a 5/8' cork fixed with a toothpick set at about 5-7ft deep in 10-12ft of water near deep water. The bites were sluggish when they bit. Search for the bigger schools near standing timber or brush piles. Jenko Mermaids and Tickle fry in the dirty milk is killer on that lake!

Caught a 1.6 lb Largemouth by casting over a submerged log and walking the jitterbug into the log and over it. The Bass struck on the far side before it got to the log.
