slow start to the crappie search

[icebadger]

this weekend got off to a slow start. On sat the bite was off in the morning then picked up in the afternoon. I had good numbers at the spot that i fished in the afternoon, the three spots i tried in the morning gave up nothing. Sunday i fished in the afternoon only went to my usual spot in the northern part of the lake and found the fish were i left them the day before. The fish were in slighty deeper water than i have been getting them in and had to adjust my jig to bobber depth. i was fishing 18 to 26" under the float and had to go to 3' under the float.. You had to use a real slow retrieve and at times i just twitched the bobber and let it sit and they would hit. the fish ranged from 7 to 14" I caught sunnies,perch, roaches(golden shiners), slime darts and crappies. the nite temps have been on the cold side so the water is slow to warm up, one other angler told me that the temps he has been seeing went from 44 to 47 surface temps. the wind has been blowing strong so that is making things interesting as well. fish porn below the top fish is 14" and the bottom fish is 10" time for some panko fried crappie
