Perch

Fishing flats with scattered rock in 8-10 feet produced the most bites and the jerkbait got all of our bigger bites including a 6 and a 5. Working it erratically seemed to trigger the most bites and the bigger bites. Perch was definitely the key color because we experimented with several others and didn’t get bit.

Rock Pile

Finding rock veins in 8-10 feet was key. Dragging tubes slowly through the rocks seemed to trigger them the most. Most bites seemed to come right after it popped free from a rock and just let it drop back down on slack line.

Water Temperature
53°

We started out at 0900 hours in 54 degree air temps. Water temps were at 53 degrees. We scouted multiple locations - shallow, deeper, muddy water stained water and clear water. Bluebird skies. Calm winds and mild chop. Mile roads on LSC. At about 1030hrs the bite turned on and while we were getting hit on swimbaits, they wouldn’t commit. Dragging a tube along bottom, on a tube jig, worked the best. Various colors were used but the green pumpkin was what they bit on. The NEW Shimano Mastiff FC in 12lb cast the 1/4oz tube jig a mile, was supple and not too stiff, no backlashes even casting into the wind. Seems very durable and disappears in the water. Much needed with these clear water areas we were fishing in 8FOW and you could see bottom. It’s still early pre-spawn, but the warming water is going to bring them in QUICK!

Target prespawn crappie around the mouths of bays with large shallow flats. Locate fish by fan casting, drifting, trolling, or utilizing FF sonar. Once found, spot lock or anchor and pick those fish apart by casting 3/16 or 1/8oz ball head jigs with 1 1/2” - 2” plastics suspended under a float. Utilize the spring time winds and breeze to add movement to your offerings. Have fun!

Fished about 12' look for rock and find the fish. Wind was from the east at about 8-10mph. The fish seemed to be in small hunting packs, you would catch a few out of a spot and then they would move on. best to keep moving and searching for that hard bottom with rock. Best technique was to make long pauses, I mean looooong. I would get it to about 8' and let it soak. sometimes it would take 10 seconds before they would take it. Ended up with about 30 in the boat, no absolute monsters, but all decent fish none the less.
