Water temp: 48-52. After these last few days the surface water has made it up to the low 50's. Fishing was great the last couple days for Crappie. Crappie are biting very well. I'm finding most of my crappie still in 15-25 ft of water 6-15 ft down. Small crappie minnows are working well over brush piles. Now I caught my biggest crappie of the year yesterday.. I didn't weigh it, but It came in at 15 inches! I put her back to swim another day! As for the bass, I found a good school that was chasing shad up a major creek in 17 ft of water. We were able to catch a couple pulling umbrella rigs to start, but the best of the bass fishing was in 8-17 ft of water off a couple primary points. Some of those bass boys would die to have those spots for a tournament! As for stripers, I'm catching but not filling coolers. Over all I have been after crappie most of all. Most of my stripers have been caught on small bait while crappie fishing or by pulling umbrella rigs. If I see a few birds working an area.
