duckydoty Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Got on the water today about 8 a.m. with my buddy Ryan. Temperature was 42 degrees and raining. We started checking brush piles and the 1st one we pulled up to had fish on it. Caught a couple of keepers and a bunch of shorts all on jigs then it just shut off. It was like that all morning. We would hit a brush pile and catch a couple of keepers right off the bat then a few shorts and then nothing. We kept hopping brush piles all morning and even threw at the bank some picking up a few keepers. Most fish seamed to be suspended 6-10 feet deep around the MDC brush piles with a few randomly caught in 2-4 feet of water on the bank. We ended up with 2 limits by 1 pm. Things are really looking like they will be shaping up good for this weekend! A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

arsenal1477 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Those are going to be some nice fillets. I'm heading down this weekend and typically fish for bass, but it would be nice to get into some slabs. What did you catch these on or what do you prefer to use?

Members DerekB Posted April 8, 2014 Members Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm not a crappie expert, but by the looks of their tails, I do believe several of those fish have been fanning beds. Would you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckydoty Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would think so. Some of them look a little beat up and got some red in them.
