Very nice is usually. Glad to see y'all beat the rain
My friend, Biofisher aka Gary Fomby, and I hit the crappie before daylight. We doubled with keepers on our first casts. It was game on until about 6:16 am when the fish decided that they had played with us enough. We were spot locked in 20 feet of water casting into 25-30 feet of water.
The morning bite and the best solunar movement came together this morning. Bobby Garland Lights Out Slab Slayers and Baby Shads did a number on the fish. We landed 12 and had 5 more jump the net and break the line or just pull off at the boat. We landed two more fish on bluffs and had one break 4 lb test Nanofil line. The threat of a thunderstorm and storms around us on the radar made us quit. We had the boat back on the trailer at 8:39.

Surprised you are finding crappie that deep this time of year. We have a 17' thermocline here in Kansas. Most of the fish we are catching are 14' to about 3'
Nice looking mess of fish.

On the Tennessee river system with the constant flow anywhere from 14,000 to 45,000 cfs during the summer months, it is impossible for a thermocline to form, so the fish can go deeper without suffering a lack of oxygen. Now in some of the bays that are several miles away from the main flow, we do see the fish hanging out in the 18 foot depth but not on the main river where I tend to fish during the summer months. Much bigger fish in the river. Grin. Not many fish 20-30 feet deep, but I have developed techniques that are successful. Thanks for your input.
