Good report. I fished for Crappie on 5/19/18 in the afternoon from shore as well. The lake is about back to normal after all this rain. I caught about 30 fish with size averaging from 6-10". The majority still had eggs as well. All released to live another day.

Yeah it seems as though the crappie still have eggs...I never caught any males , even the small ones that I threw back had eggs in them....they were sitting on top of the wood ….I was fishing 8 fow and had the bait about 2 ft deep....I just pulled the minnow across the brush pile and let it sink at the edge to trigger most strikes...
