4-21 fishing report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Put in at Long Shoals about 9:00 am.  Water temps were 57 to 58 to start the day and when we got off the water at 5:00 pm they were running 64 to 65 in the back ends of the big coves.  Spent the day looking for crappie.  Had one in the first hour, and only 4 in the first 4 hours. Around 2:00 pm it started changing.  As the afternoon wore on the crappie fishing got better and better.  We started catching them shallow.  We hit one stretch of bank probably 25 feet long where we caught 15 to 20.  I don't fish Truman a lot, but the size of the fish was really impressive.   Nothing under 10 inches and most of them were 11 to 12 1/2.  We caught our limit of 30. All were males.  We also caught a ton of small bass in the 8 to 13 inch range.
