Little after sun up, and the day was overcast and foggy. Light wind, giving a little ripple along the top of the water. With the conditions in mind, I decided to use a Choppo. Was sectioning off the surface with the top water, and after about 20 casts this one struck.

CrappieTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersWent fishing with a friend a while back. Mostly casting around the rocks at Riccenger. Caught around a dozen crappie and a few white bass. Most crappies were over 10”. John Deere was the color of the day.

I was dropping a jig down to about 10-15ft over suspended schools near brushpiles and standing timber. I was alternating between that and using a cork and jig combo. My cork is a 5/8' cork fixed with a toothpick set at about 5-7ft deep in 10-12ft of water near deep water. The bites were sluggish when they bit. Search for the bigger schools near standing timber or brush piles. Jenko Mermaids and Tickle fry in the dirty milk is killer on that lake!

Caught a limit of crappies in standing timber holding tight to the trees around 10-15” deep in 15-30” of water. A decent amount of white bass mixed in.
