    Default Lake Rathbun Crappies

    Well, now that spawn is over with, where can you find the crappie?
    I know they will not be predictable as before the spawn. Has anyone found any in the last 2 weeks? What is the prefered method of catching them after the spawn in this lake?

    Just talked to a friend that lives and fishes daily there, he says you can still find them spawning. I'll bet alot are in going in to summer pattern which will be 15 to 25ft on brush piles. My dad is headed down wed. morning, he'll be pounding the banks first.
