Fished the laydown South of Dewitt bridge last saturday. Four nice Blacks and a 16" Walleye. The Crappie were in less than 4 ft. deep.
Weather on Sunday wasn't fit for man nor beast. I don't miss the wind in Illinois.
Had a good time though.
Nothing makes a Crappie grow faster than almost being caught.
