my cousin been calling me teasing me . says the crappie are starting to bite off of his dock on lay lake  he caught 14 a couple of days ago. all over 10 inches  with a few 13 and 14 inchers. says they are biting best about an hr before and till dark. using minnows and swimming a slider head jig with white grub, to get deeper in the brush. he said the biggest ones come from right in front of his dock.. guess whos driving to Alabama next week!!

Good luck man. I know my lake got some good crappies but I have no idea how and when to find those.?

think they will ever invent under water binoculars, or ifrared fish detectors?

they are up to 70  now. nothing under 10 inches. I'm leaving in the morning. a man can only take so much!!

we have got over 150 now. dang sure feels good to be on the water again! dont miss the indiana  cold weather either.  this sat, headed for texas to try the bass. that doc had mw laid up so long i feel like i broke out of jail!!

update on crappie . they seem to be leaving the brush piles ,biteing closer to the bank,like they are starting to head in to spawn. most everything we have been catching is 10 to 14 inches. very fat!! 

got three grandsons that want some of those bama crappie. taking them down for there spring break.. this excuse worked for my wife, got any more I can use?? a mans got to do what a mans got to do. no rain dancing down there .they are 8,10 and 12 so if you see or hear about a funny pic of a man tied up in fishing lines and bobbers , guess who!!
