67 crappie between 4 of us! If you braved the rain and sleet and stayed till the end of the day the crappies went off the last hour!

Crappies are being caught at all depths, but the deeper water (7-10') they are suspended any where from 3-5' which can make it difficult without the aid of a fish finder. Glow baits tipped with spikes work best.

Not big on giving exact location on a fishing forum, but the bite has slowed but still getting some along with a few keeper saugeyes tonight!

Glow jigs and tungsten and tipped with spikes just like Wapak dude said!

3- 5 ft or water most coming off the bottom very few suspended fish!

On 2/7 we fished from 7:30 to 12:00 starting between Long and Pony Islands. Worked our way back up in to eh game preserve and then back to where we started. After lunch we went to Lucy's hole, and then finished up back off Long Island. Drilled tons of holes, searched everywhere. We ended up with a total of 10 fish only were big enough to keep, threw all of them back. Mix of gills, perch and bass. Not a single crappie. Fished with small spoons tipped with spikes in depths ranging from 3-5'. Everyone we talked to on the lake were reporting the same. We marked more fish than we caught, had a hard time getting them to commit. No one was catching crappies. The weather was great, and as some say, too nice of a day to actually catch fish.

There were many limits of crappie caught in the area I was fishing Saturday, Sunday started off decent early but slowed up as the crowds got bigger . Moved a bunched mid day
 and found them again. Saugeyes were being caught but not many, and I did see a few perch.

Nice work Megan66 and Wapak ice dawg. Obviously not looking for coordinates, but was curious if any of the areas we fished were near you? What kind of depth were you in? We saw lots of people on the south side of long island, maybe you all were over there? Regarding our outing on Saturday, as Sam Elliot says in The Big Lebowski "sometimes you eat the bar, and, sometimes the bar, well, it eats you". Thanks for your posts and updates!
