- GOOD. Water slightly stained; 65 degrees; 0.50 feet below pool. A few post spawn crappie are in 6-12 feet of water on brush piles, and many are spawning or staging right outside of the spawning areas. Target crappie with black and chartreuse, white and chartreuse, or orange and chartreuse jigs or minnows. Catfish are shallow on secondary wind blown points, or beneath shad off of creek channels with cut bait. Some largemouth bass are on spawning beds. Largemouth bass continue to stage on secondary points hitting slow moving swimbaits, or along grass edges with chatterbaits. White bass are good in the creeks with moving water using white roadrunners or curly tail worm. Report by Daniel Koberna, Lt. Dan’s Crappie Co.
