    Been hearing many report of male crappies already showing signs of darkening with their tuxedos. But I will agree, the females don't seem quite ready yet. Doubt this cooler/rainy weather will help.

    Very cool, and I agree the up and down water temps has been because of up and down temps and lots of rain. It's hard to those water temps up when you get 2 or 3 inches of rain every week, and its...

    Cunningham Crappie

    Not quite the size crappie that EB catches. :P

    But it was fun to catch them on some of Donald's rubber threadneck jigs right before the storms moved in. :)

    Yes, I believe some UNL grads who are contracted out from the NGPC to do some research surveys on what was being caught. They did the same thing on opening day at Wannahoo.
