Art,
Congratulations!
All,
Fished the tonto end Friday evening from 5:30PM to dark and Saturday from 7AM-3PM.
Boated 34 Crappie, 1 LM, and 1 YB. Kept slabs 4/10 for Good Friday dinner and 14/24 for Easter Sunday brunch. Fish under 12 inches released. Pic of Saturday fish attached. Only one male.
Consistency in speed, depth and persistence put the fish in the boat.
My girlfriend caught her PB at just over 2 lbs/15.25".
Honestly, grub color did not matter. The only grub that didn't catch a fish was blue/silver.
Minnow size did not matter either, her 2lb was caught on a 3/4" minnow and several dinks were caught on minnows > 2.5" long.
Have a Crappie Day :thumbsup:

Nice catch Papermouth.  Did you catch most in the evening or morning?  Did you catch them in shallow or deeper water.... if you don't mind sharing.

The only time that stood out was a "lull" between 12-3PM on Saturday. Friday evening was red hot with 10 fish in just over an hour.
I fished all depths < 30 feet. Caught my fair share of sticks when I went < 15 feet. Tried to stay in between.
Have a Crappie Day :thumbsup:

YVW, there are plenty of fish out there for everyone to enjoy. I'll give more specific details after SCF!  :booty:

No problem papermouth. You already met a couple of our members. What you didn't notice was that one of them planted a tracking device in your boat.

Your GPS track has already been uploaded to the Member's Only section of this board when you trailered the boat.

You will have a lot of 'friends' out there at SCF.
