Crappies

[Kevin J Legg]

The crappies have definitely moved into shallow water haunts to prepare for spawn. They have darkened up and are in normal shallow shoreline structure. Fished an Indian River Lake yesterday and caught 23 crappies and 10 bluegills that we kept. All the bass went back..Many fish in shallows, you can even sight fish them Worked the shoreline with trolling motor and anchored up when we caught a crappie. Often caught a few fish after we caught one. One small shallow bay, near deep water, was loaded with fish ( bass, crappie, bluegill) and we hung there for over an hour catching a bunch of fish.
