Big Niangua/Linn Creek Area Crappie Report

[Seth]

We fished between hwy 5 bridge over to the mouth of Linn Creek this past weekend. Caught and cleaned a three man limit of crappie Saturday and Sunday. Side scanned the first few docks inside main lake points in that area and found crappie on most. Some were bitier than others so you just had to run that pattern until you found ones that were reachable and eating. Not many shorts and only had a few over 11". Lots of 9.5-10" eaters though which I'm totally fine with. It did seem like the largest crappie were sitting very shallow under the docks an would bite immediately whereas the smaller fish were hanging down 5-10' deep. I checked a few condo docks in the area and could usually find at least one spot that held fish on the entire dock. Most weren't reachable though due to boats being in the way. The one spot we were able to reach produced several fish.
