I was out there today as well. First goal was to make sure everything ran well on the boat after winter lay-off. That went well. I saw a lot of shad around the Little Platte boat slips with my camera, but saw very few crappie in the half dozen or so slips I viewed. The crappie I did see were right off the bottom and very few and far between. Checked a few other spots throughout the lake and same thing. There was threadfin shad just about everywhere and the gulls were having a feast.
