[Fish24/7]

WT 52/ 53°

Cloudy,windy. Caught a bunch again this time. Last 2 trips we got over 80 crappie , had 38 keepers total.. Still catching them 10 fow or less with the same stuff , but as the lake drops the shallow fish are moving around so it's a good idea to rotate through the best spots, and find some new ones too, because they will reload with fresh fish if you leave and then  come back a little bit later

.early morning was spent crappie fishing before the wind kicks up then around 3 hours of bass fishing afterward.

in two days we put 26 keepers in the boat and didn't see any of them on a screen before  we caught  them. 99% largemouth and all released.  We caught them on crankbaits again yesterday with  small deeper diving cranks catching the bigger fish,.,the small shallow cranks catching the numbers, and the size was much better yesterday probably due to the clouds was my guess . 

  there had to be shad activity on the surface to. Everywhere we caught them there were shad splashing and flipping around on top ,both days. The steeper the bank the closer the fish were to the shoreline, the flatter the banks they were more offshore but still shallow 8' or less.   Would have been nice to catch a four pounder or bigger for a picture but I guess the big girls were feeding under the full moon this week😄 thats  my excuse

@Fish24/7 congrats on some great catching with >100 fish in the boat over two trips! Thanks for post a great report. Too bad a 4 lber didn't show up in the mix for a quick photo 😉. Can't wait for the next report.

It might be a while before I go again.. probably a couple weeks or longer. I had a bank fishing trip in mind for walleye but it depends if I can find the right live bait and get the right weather conditions too.
