Slab Sunday

You got it figured out, nice work. And as always great pics.

Another good day at the office for the slabmaster😀!

Lance, are you mostly finding fish in open water or near brush?  With the water fluctuations I kinda felt the crappie would pull into main lake near vertical structure instead of brush piles.  I’m still learning, but wondering if I’m right?

In open water.  I never fish brush, docks, trees etc...  never any cover.   I look for rises, edges along the channel, swings.  Basically how the bottom of the lake lays out and how they relate to it...   These fish are just roaming and eating.  So basically find them on the graph and adjust depth to where I see them...  Then follow the contour they are on and work em over until they quit.  Then go to looking again by my map.  Then repeat.   Water fluctuations ain’t gonna move them out.  It more likely moves them up and down in the column but not out.  They ain’t gonna leave where the food is staying concentrated.  
 

With current I like looking for areas where they can get out of it.  Like a rise or channel line were they can lay and not have to work against it.  

Thanks Lance.  Still learning a lot from these posts.
