Tommy I hear that mud flats this time of year during mid day is or could be hot spots for crappie due to warmer water and shad. What is your thoughts on this
If the shad are there - the crappie will be there as well. What I find so fascinating about any type of fishing is establishing patterns - lets say you find shad balls in 15 FOW and work them and find white bass - then find crappie relating to shad in 17 FOW - I really enjoy identifying patterns like that and putting the pieces of the puzzle together!
