Fished Newton from 5pm to 11:30pm last night with Hope's of a pile of crappie for our efforts. The fish thought otherwise. 4 of us landed a total of 18 fish during that time. Fished between 35 and 40 FOW and fish were typically 1.5-3 cranks off the bottom. Marked plenty of fish, but they were picky. Best "catching" hour was the hour before dark with 7 landed at that time. Really spotty after that picking up a fish here or there. At 9:30 it completely shut down. No one thing worked any better that anything else. Standard crappie jigs, spoons, halis, and glow equipment.
The crappie are bigger on average than Pineview. We probably averaged 9.5-10" fish.
