Thank you for the update no1son.
Z and I bolted out for a quick fish Tuesday evening, between two events we had going on.
Once we paddled out to where we wanted to fish, we had from about 6:20-6:40 pm to actually fish (not counting the buzz bait I was pulling behind the canoe along the way - next time it will be a shallow running crank bait). The first bit at 6:25pm. All three of the crappies caught were around 9 1/2" and well fed. They were hitting our jigs at about 5' over about 20' of water, adjacent to the still present deeper weed edge.
The tree colors are muddying up, but the day was absolutely gorgeous.
We are going to venture out tomorrow night for a little longer stint.
