Finding Summer Crappies on Large Flowage
Hi Fellas...
looking for some advice as to where to look to find summer crappies on a large river system in northern Wisconsin.
The main lake...just up stream from the dam is deep in the old river channel and then tapers to 30 - 15 feet for most of the main lake. The top of the main lake has two river channels...one east one west. This is where two rivers converged prior to the dam. THere is plenty of structure....probably 200 some cribs and rock piles in the main lake at 30 - 20 feet.
In the spring you can count on the slabs being in the shallow flats off of one of the river channels. I assume that they move to the large lake in the summer but I have not been able to find them....I few here and there but not a decient school..
I have probably checked nearly all of the cribs and rock piles this summer with my 898C SI. Not much luck. Do you think that there is just to many good places for them to hold too so they do not school up?
Should I give up on the main lake and look for structure in one of the rivers?
Appreciate any help....
