Water temps are still pretty low. With the rain, it should warm up the water some more and send the crappies into the shallows. It was windy and sprinking a bit. The Blackfish Torrent rainsuit blocked out wind and the drizzled.

My one fish, Little accidental pike that shook off at the boat. Couldn’t find the crappie after the cold front. They were not shallow or spawning. Water just couldn’t get above 50 degrees even in shallowest sunniest areas so I think cold front had just enough effect to make hunting difficult.

Spawn is in effect on this shallow body of water. Focus on throwing bluegill imitation cranks in shallow flats and above grass lines in 4-6ft of water.

When the sun got high mid - day, the bass hid under docks for shade. Skipping the ned rig under docks and dragging it out would get the to bite without a thought.

Fishing date of 5/22/2022. Cool morning, wake up temp of 48, got up to low 50's and was fairly breezy. Was out about 4 hours. Caught about 8 bass, 3-ish pike. Water temps around 60 up to about 62. Bass seemed to be spawning somewhat, but not all. Definitely caught some pre-spawners as well. Caught some fish on a jerkbait, but primarily more finesse on a ned rig around some docks. Mostly caught small and medium bass. Did see some larger fish on beds, but always tended to be after it was too late and spooked them. Then they had no interest.
