from the DNR:

<<Lake Macbride (Johnson): Some crappies are being caught in 10 to 15 feet of water over structure. Crappies should begin to migrate to shallow areas if the water temperatures hold or warm up.>>

I had one great day at Macbride about this time last year fishing for crappies in 12-14 FOW in the vicinity of brush... followed by days of sheer futility. I'm keeping Macbride on a tight leash this year.

But it sounds like go-time is rapidly approaching. :D
