It's been a tough month personally. Would love to go and catch a mess of crappy. It's been ages since I've fished, anywhere. Please suggest somewhere, someone who can put a mess of fish in the frying pan. I'm in west Tenn
Crappy month, need to go crappy fishing

Going to be a little windy in my part of the world but I might try it for a little while. I had my limit last Sunday by 10:30AM and started at 8:30AM lol Most of the bigger crappie where in 10-20FT of water and about 5-15FT deep.

I might give em a break until the spawn dies off IDK. About 1/2 of the fish I was catching was plum full of eggs and I released most of those.
Do you have a boat? Are you looking for 2 pound slabs or 10 inch eaters?
SATURDAY HERE IS RELATIVELY STILL, BUT FRIDAY AND SUNDAY ARE WINDY
What lake were you on? Watts bar they were in 5' of water

Douglas. I would say by the end of this week, def by middle of next week, they will be on the bank if it stays warm and its supposed to. Luckily it keeps raining and lake is on the rise! Almost to 980 elevation! 990-995 is considered full so its getn there! This greatly helps the spawn be successful!
Normandy lake is 875. 876 is full summer pool. So glad. I know where there are when there is water in the coves. Wish they would fill Tims back up!
