Silver Lake, Washington for crappie is hot right now. Limit is 12 over 9 inches. Lots of fish. Small grub under a float. Bank anglers have been having great success with fish feeding close to vegetation.

Shad
The bite pretty much died this morning. Spent 3.5 hours throwing everything I had at them and managed a pair of fish that were roughly the same size as the Strike King Sexy Dawg Jr. I caught them on, going to be hot again today, so I expect shadelines, color lines, mats, anything to provide even the smallest amount of relief for the fish will be big players today.

Shad
I had a tough run in the wind this weekend, 4 hours produced 4 fish, the largest of which went 1lb 1oz, 2 on a Strike King KVD 300 Jerkbait in Clear Ayu, though I expect that anything shad colored would work too (my biggest producers here are in natural baitfish and craw colors) in addition to one on a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in Ayu and an Ozark Trail spinnerbait in willow/Colorado configuration in a white/shad color.

the BioSpawn Rattlebot in Sexy Shad got it done tonight, also caught one off a shad colored Rapala Jerkbait, post-frontal today so get ready to earn those you catch, and they aren't big, but a bit of work and you can land a few

Hump’s along current seams snap jigging hair jigs produced smallmouth and walleyes. The Perch and Florescent green ones worked the best whenever there was light cloud cover
