My wife was feeling pretty good today so she gave me a pass to fish. Started at 10 am and left about 2:30 pm.<br />I tried several docks that are usually reliable but not even a nibble. Tried some spawning areas that worked well last year and none at all. Decided to fish some blowdowns that were near some 12-14 ft. water and found some. Total today was about 25 crappie w/ 14 keepers along with a couple slick bass, bluegills, and even one yellow bass. Water temp was about 60-61 when I left. Bait was 1/32 oz stubby butts for the most part in shad colors, some dipped in chartruce on the tail and some without it. It didn&#39;t seem to matter as long as they were close to the cover. Fish seemed to be holding shallow on the brush and holding tight.<br /><br />Here&#39;s pic of a bucket of keepers. emoSmile
