The lake level is about 1ft above summer pool, surface temp at 10am was70.9 degrees and the water is muddy to cloudy with some visibility of about 14".
We found the crappie supended in 30ft of water ar the depths of 6 to 10ft. they were mostly small less than 9" with 3 over 10". The bite was slow and the fish were few.
My educated guess is that the spawn is all but over and the big females have moved back into the deeper waters. All of the weather fronts have them scattered and it will take some time for the water to clear and the fish to form up again.
Opps for the day. When your day starts off bad and goes down hill form there it can get to be a very bad day. When we set up at our 1st place and I put my pole over the side and set it at about 10ft and just as I turned to get the 2nd one ready I sawthe 1st one bend to the water and in the next instant it was gone over the side and out of site. So if you find a fish with a Shakespear rod and reel attached to him the rod and reel our mine. I just bought the rod and reel this spring. Than when the electric anchors would not come up I saw that the battery was dying. It is the big one that runs all of the electronics too. So now I need a new battery and another rod and reel.Maybe I just should have stayed home today. {wink} Not a chance.
Larry where were you when I needed you LOL.
