Does anyone fish for crappie in the summer time?  I can get a few in lilly pads with minnows.  I like the jigeyes with a small grub, maybe jig those as deep as I can get them?  Any luck away from cover in summer time?

I still catch a few in KY Lake this time of year...drop a minnow tipped Pop-Eye jig over DEEP (at least 20') structure and let if drift down to them. They seem to school tight, so if you get one stick around and there are usually quite a few more...

Not too many lakes in Central Florida that are 20 feet deep.

Sorry...didn't think about that :-[

I know of about 10 with 20 plus feet of water...phosphate ponds.

Never fished in florida (unfortunately) , but if the lakes have a thermocline try fishing right above it for crappie in mid summer.
