the buddy i had with me was keeping them all that day. thats why there are 15-16" crappie on my cutting board. i generally release any over 13". this mornings pig was just over 16" had three that were over 15 and kept 15 eater size for lunch.(pic still on my phone)
mite as well add to this instead making another. the first trip to the crappie waters has been good. picking up eaters as we searched for trophies. most caught were 8-12" biggest was 13 something.

been getting a few last couple days. no trophies yet but plenty action. the tails of the male crappie are really beat up this year. wonder if its from the cold fronts driving them back off beds this spring. a 13 was the big one of the day for crappiie. big bass was 4 pounder on that purple yum craw. the fish were all up in 2-4fow around cover.

Very nice. How deep were they?
all crappie came from 2-6 ft.
got 3 nice crappie today. the rest were 6-12inchers. they still up in 4-6fow. they chewed on BG baby shad plastics with yum shad spray on it. funny but today it seemed the white crappie were a bit deeper in the same general area. the ones from 8fow were all white females and small. most all the shallow crappie were black males. a few rockos and largemouth in the catch also. fished from 830-noon and it got hot and i ran in.
