Edens Bluff crappie

[Lance34]

Got out yesterday.  I was short on time and looking at the radar.  

I put in at Hickory Creek and headed north to do a little vertical jig fishing at Edens.  Battle the wind and fish brush piles and pole timber in 20-30 feet of water about 12-17 feet down.  

Caught a lot of shorts again, but did manage 6 good toads.  

Dark green water and water temp was 67.

Bait used where a Bobby Garland Baby Shad, Electric Chicken and Crystal on a green/chartreuse 1/8oz jig head.

Only downer is I lost my dag gum hat on they way back to the ramp.  So If ya see my Yeti hat it yours!

God bless and have great time at there.

Glad you got a few good ones. Hey, were they spawned out? Still have not found them shallow up around the islands. Bummer about you hat, it was in most of your pics.

Thanks...  Yes these where.  But a friend that had a limit last weekend still had small eggs???

 I seem to do my best catching them in pre or post spawn areas.  15-20 feet of water.  

I did hear the month of May has got a full moon so some may still spawn then again.  

 I'm Going to try rigging post spawn areas, mouths of coves or where the river channel meets the creek channel next trip.  

So you may try to give that a shot.

I got one about 12 inches in the cut between the islands on a ned rig Thursday. Seemed to be a few back there feeding on swarms of minnows. There were a lot of fish hanging around that big brush pile in the cut also.
