LOZ slowing down

[ripnlips]

baithead wanted an afternoon run so he picked me up after work and off we go. Put in at pb1 and started rigging with minnows and the fun was on Tony was just tearing up the GAR Paul would be so proud of him. Still managed 23 keepers and lots of shorts. I noticed the females bellies were no longer really swollen but with the water now 70 degrees I imagine they laid a few eggs. Good afternoon outing and aside from a brand new knife I let Tony use now a part of LOZ another successful outing. Did pick up a few casting to the bank at sundown but mostly shorts and not as fast as previous outings.

Sounds like a good time to me!

I have noticed the same results...
Could be coming to an end maybe.
I couldn't catch an under two weeks ago, and now seem to be plenty.

Last weekend I got a limit but it was a light limit.
Lots of 10"s and really nothing bigger.

But I'm also thinking the coves and banks I hit get pounded pretty hard.
Time to venture out for more spawning banks.

same results here but it has been a very good April...I was kind of disgusted with Ameren for letting the lake to get so low but it did come up pretty good for the crappie spawn...trolling cranks and night bite not far off

Nice job.

What's that purple looking thing with a red eye at the bottom of your cooler in the pic (bottom right)?

Caught some females this week, out of 7, only one looked ready to drop eggs, the others looked a week or so out. Males still dark as could be. I think spawn is a week away on the big niangua. Been catching quite a few shorts.
