Went back Saturday at sunup and managed to bring home 9 keeper crappie. I think all and all, I caught 12 or 13 crappie plus two whites. I found the bigger crappie on the bottom in 40 – 38 foot. The small ones moved into the 30 – 32 foot range. After I caught one white, the crappie shut off.

As I was heading back to the ramp, I located large unschooled arcs snug to the bottom in about 50-55 foot. Hoping I was seeing walleye, I dropped a lure down. Sadly, I pulled up another white.

For only fishing 2 or 3 hours and the wind changing direction, Saturday morning wasn’t bad.

Wow, those were some deep fish. I didn't know white bass would hug the bottom in that deep of water.

I’ve heard of people catching them deep, in the larger lakes schooled up around bait balls. It’s not often I catch a white in the winter time. I thought whites were schooling fish. Do whites not school in the winter?

I don’t eat them but I do like to catch them.
