Fished all weekend. Caught a dozen or so fri night at caesars plus a few saugeyes. Limited at paint solo on sat morning but I really had to work for them. A lot of the females were spawned out. Went  sun with a buddy and we fished all day all over the lake and ended up with 46. Obviously you can still catch em but I think the frenzy is over. Have about all the crappie I need for the year anyway. Plan to hit the Saugeye locally if I get a chance next weekend and then I leave for Erie for 5 days on the 27th. YAAAAAY!!! I CANT WAIT!!! Feel like I'm just talking to myself posting on here this time of year but maybe someone will read this and find it useful.

Still biding my time waiting for my erie trip making do with the crappies.  Limits by noon both days this weekend. Starting to get a few nice females but the majority are still males in the 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 range. Just about everywhere I've tried in the lake has produced.

Another limit at rocky this morning. Hit the water about 7 and was done by 11. Would have finished earlier but was releasing anything under 9 1/2. Nothing real big and none had eggs. Not sure if they were just all males or spawned out already. Seems a little early with all the cold weather we've had. Gonna try paint creek in the morning. See if I can find some size.

2 man crappie limit at rocky yesterday.  Most 9 1/2 to 10 1/2. Couple up around 12. Caught em all over from 10 ft down all the way up to the bank. Minnows and tubes. Also picked up one Saugeye and a couple perch.

I just put them in a Styrofoam box full of wet ground up newspaper. If it's not too hot i leave it in the garage. The fridge is better if you can do that and stay married. Make sure you wrap rubber bands or something around the box to keep it shut and put it in a plastic bag. They will get out if you dont. Nightcrawlers roaming free in the fridge doesn't go over very well in my experience.

G do you know how long they are gonna have the water drawn down at caesars? I had heard until may. Gonna make an interesting crappie season down there.last year was phenomenal. Limited about every trip in April and may with nice crappie. was hoping to slam em again.

Thanks buster. You know last year by the week before Easter I was catching em right on the bank 2 ft under an ice bobber at rocky. Guess we are a couple weeks behind.Whenever these brutal cold fronts stop coming through they'll start moving

I'm going out wed. Probably indian or st marys. Will post report. Haven't heard much from anywhere else in sw ohio area, so we'll see
