post spawn crappie in missouri

[beagle man]

fished Truman lake tues and wed. searched and found some post spawn fish, most were 10ft down in 14 to 18 ft. of water. he is a few of the ones jim,bob and I caught.
find that place where you saw the guys fishing the spawning fish and move off a few feet from the spaw bank and look for a drop off or a small channel and drag your favorite bait, we used home made and store bought plastic bait and all worked verry well, good luck and start looking for them deeper crappie

what was water temp, and how long do you think they have been post spawn, our fish are just starting to spawn in NY.

[beagle man]

water was 69 to 72 and they are 3/4 of the way through spawn. most of the fish I cleaned were spawned out females, with a small male or two in the mix, only 4 still had eggs.

On the body of water i fish I know there are crappie in these same types of places. When you say slow troll. Could you please explain. Are we talking about long line or more vertical. One jig or two to a pole. The fish i was catching last week were in deep water coves. We call them sloughs or sometimes creeks. Anyways they are no longer there. Any info would be a big help. Thanks
