It was tough on me today. Didn't talk to many folks today but the one I talked to were doin about the same. Fished from Bridal Cave to the Little Niangua. Smallest was 10 1/3 and the biggest about 12. Kalens Triple Threat in Wally World color. Don't know why the white looks so short, he was probably 14.

We had 8 crappie, largest 14", 10 small blacks, no keepers,  and 10 white bass on a small crank bait. like 2" shad!

that sounds about what I have been doing around 28 mm to the nianguas, biggest was 13 inches. Last Monday I believe it was a 3.5 lb 18 inch crappie was caught on a spinnerbait and is up at Osage Beach Bait and Tackle in a bait tank.

The glaize has been on fire. They are way up under the dock floats. Im just starting to learn the whole "shooting" game and its a blast! I got my 15 off 3 different docks within a couole hours yesterday. Best was a pair of 13" out of the same hole. Many of them were full of eggs.

I've gotta figure this out. I have practiced a little but not near enough

I need to learn the shooting dock tactic myself, I am new to the crappie game. Spend most of my time bassing but the crappie taste good and it is fun when they are biting good. Spent the day with the grandson in the boat today, wish it was better fishing for him, maybe next time.

Looks like you all had a Good day. My grandkids are a little young yet but give em a few years and we will be tearing it up.

Bass fishing has been slow for us this weekend but at least we've found some crappie... All between 10-12". Three of us cleaned 45 today. Some on a roadrunner but most have been caught corking a 1/32 oz jig. Color hasn't mattered much. 24-26 mm.

One thing Ive learned over the past few weeks is to use a tube jig with the head actually inserted into the body. I like fishing the slab busters and the bobby garlands usually but the body slips off the jighead too much. I have heard of guys superglueing the bodies to the jig head but have not tried that. Once that jig slips on the jig head it gets pretty frustrating with it slipping on almost every shot. This technique is extremely effective getting into all those small holes and in between the floats. Also make sure your reel has a full spool of line, you will be able to shoot better.
