The water between the rocks where they normally spawn and the sliprs are in that range. We did not have a normal spawn on the rocks behind the dock where my slips are located this year. It was very light, unless all the activity took place after 9 pm each night.
Normally we find plenty of keepers in the 10-11 inch range on the slips, at the bridge and on brush piles the year around. i don't know what has happened during the last month that has caused only the 4=8 inch crappie to be present in the normal haunts with all the larger crappie missing.
Up to last week I was catching large numbers of small crappie in the slips. Very few keepers but lots of action. The rise in water level of over 5 feet probably account for the slower catch rate this past week but does not explain why so few of the larger crappie are present.
I intend to check out some of the creeks again this coming week to see if they are back in the creeks. I also intend to check out the deeper water up at the dam if the wind will allow that.
