fished a small central Missouri Lake, and caught 15 crappie, 10 and 11 inchers in about two hours, using a jig tipped with a niblet, 30 inches under a bobber, drifting over brushpiles 8-14 feet of water in the breeze. some soft hits others jerked the bobber under with a pop! Had three or four short ones that were quickly returned to the water. The ice had been off the lake less than 48 hours. Might try again tomorrow! Go when you can, and take a friend along!
