    Tube jigs, chartruse or white, 1/32oz. If not that, minnow under a bobber will work too.

    Fish will be shallower in structure OR holding in deeper water nearby structure.

    Good luck.

    Hey Dave, how's it going? I always go with the minnow under a bobber when fishing shallow for them in spring. Although early this year, I caught 10 crappie from a private pond on 1/16 ounce crappie jig tipped with wax worm under a bobber. I haven't been to any lakes to see if they're up shallow, been sticking to the ponds!
