April 21 Crappie Report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Put in at Brown Bend and headed down the lake to the first big creek arm to the south. Pulled up on a fairly steep bank and started catching crappie. They were not on the banks and only a couple of males I caught were starting to turn black. Water temp was 59 to 61.5. We started about 9:00 a.m. and had our limit (30 fish with two of us fishing) by 2:30 p.m. They were spread out and not bunched up. Caught them on a 1/16th ounce jig head with a chartreuse and white grub body. Would just cast it to the bank and then slowly reel it back in. They were not back in the coves. Seemed like you needed fairly deep water (10 feet or more) to get the bigger ones. We didn't keep anything under 10 1/2. They were probably half females, and half males. The biggest went 15 1/4. Several 13 1/2 inchers.
