This evening the two of us did 18 crappies, the biggest was a mere 10", and we had to work for them. It was a fish and then wait and work and change baits and presentation and then maybe another fish. They were there but they weren't eating. Most crappies came on a jigging presentation that was so slow as to be almost a dead hang right at the bottom which was less than 5' deep in both places we fished tonight.
The big story is another bonus fish. My partner, jigging the tiniest Acme Phoebe, landed a 26" walleye. The moon was up and the sun well down. The presentation was a slow lift and then a free fall fluttering descent. Strike was right on the bottom about 5' below my partner's shoe leather. It was too dark to get a picture off his cell phone.
As always, everything was released.
