Minnows
Right after ice out on chautauqua lake the crappie travel into the canals. My favorite way to catch them is tying on a 1/16 oz jig head with a small Bobby Garland shad in the chartreuse color and fishing it two feet below a foam float.

Laydowns
When I fish from my kayak on chautauqua lake I like to travel up the chadakoin river and fish the lay downs though there I find a lot of success throwing square bill crankbaits particularly the chartreuse strike kings I have caught a lot of largemouth in a day this way but also nice quality bass as well.
