The Crappie haven't spawned yet at least at Beaver Lake by Plattsmouth. I was down there yesterday and beat the banks and didn't get a fish. The males are in about 10ft of water and the females are out about 12-15ft of water. I caught a lot of Crappie and perch and 1 huge bluegill. The water temp is still 66 degree's there yet. All the females are full of eggs yet and don't really have the bulging bellies yet. Most of the males are only about 9-1/2 inches and the biggest female that I got yesterday was 13-1/2 inch. The males tails aren't torn up yet so are still staged and ready to go to the bank when the temps get a little warmer. The fish are close to the bottom. I would reel in slow and then stop it and let it sink to the bottom and that is when they would hit it. They wanted the bait ever so slow. I tried jigs but only got perch and the one Bluegill.
I am trying to figure out this new computer and how to download the pictures so I can add them to here will keep trying but will get it figured out. EB
