Is the spawn going to happen?

[Dirtrider389]

As anyone found crappie on the banks anywhere yet? I haven't found them in the linley end as of last weekend. But that is the bite I'm looking forward to.

Next week it will happen.  Pomme always lags behind on the spawn.  They have been up shallow a couple times, lake dropping hard right now.  Middle to lake next week it is gonna explode.

I caught them on Wednesday on brush in 20 feet, and one 14" female on a tree in 12 feet. Caught one male that was just starting to turn black. 

I don't think it will be much longer. The cold snap earlier this week really slowed things down.

After a few years of crappie fishing, I have found that the post spawn fishing with jigs is about as enjoyable too.....

Went to Wheatland again tonight, they were finicky. Caught 3 crappie and a white. Crappie were still on brush, 18-20ft. 

Water was 55 around the dam, and 60 closer to the ramp. Should be any day now.

That's what I'm talking about! We caught maybe 3 or 4 shallow and the other 10 or so 12 to 15 fd
