hot water
The shad are running on top already and I bet the crappie are after them. The cats are going crazy and we are kill'n them. Better jump in with all us baiting catfish holes. We caught 97 this weekend and several were in the 5 to 7 lb range.
Have you tried the shallower brushpiles on the flats and creek channels? The last crappie we caught were still 6 to 9 ft deep water. May need to troll very shallow flats.
Good luck and if I get tired of the cats ,I may try the crappie again soon.
