As I stated on another thread, up until now I've only focussed on spring crappie. However, I've been stuck in Singpore since May, and I plan to do quite a bit of August fishing for slabs.

How do the fish patterns change from spring to late-summer? Are the fish going to go deeper, or can they still be found near shorline structure (brush piles, docks, etc)? I have a fish finder, but it hasn't proved that great for locating submerged structure. Do you guys know of a way to locate deeper structure?

My biggest concern is being able to locate these suspended fish. What are some of the methods you folks use?

Again, thanks for the help,

RW
