I fished Pineview on the 24th with no success. I tried several areas from the north side and across the east shore. I was shore fishing. I am like you, also watching for reports that the crappie are hitting but I am getting worried that they may not come on this year any better than the perch did this winter. Usually by now they would be coming on as in years past. I hope that they are still in there in good numbers.

im with you. i dont know what happened but i havent seen or heard of a crappie caught yet. i havent seen the bucket brigades out fishing for them either. i have no idea what happened to them. i saw so many very large crappie yanked last year i was afraid of this but i didnt think it would put it to this level.

Only crappie I have seen this year were to floating in the shallows 2 weeks ago, they were 10-12 inches though, haven't seen anything caught though.

I heard from some where (can't remember where though so I don't remember if it was reliable) that the crappie crop have been lost the last two years due to them spawning , then the water being drawn down and leaving the eggs high and dry.

I think it has to do with low water conditions, not allowing for weeds/brush to be submerged long enough for the spawn. No babies=no adults.
