Shortly after daybreak, I started out fishing some newly located deep water structure where I could hear a lonely ole gobbler off in the distance. I just love spring.<br />I knew the conditions were not right for crappie at this location, so my feelings weren&#39;t hurt when I came up empty. <br />More or less I was just trying to get more familiar with this structure for a later time.<br /><br />Moved on to some submerged timber and was surprised when I caught a 14&quot; prespawn white crappie.<br />I guess its a good thing that all of the crappie don&#39;t spawn all at the same time with the changing lake levels. <br />A couple more of the fish caught today were prespawn but the majority have finished there thing and are completely spawned out. Fished mostly offshore brushpiles with a couple of docks also. Didn&#39;t keep any fish today but caught 28 whites with ten keepers. One bonus walleye. <br />The wind and wakeboarders got pretty bad around noon so I just went and scouted the last few hours. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
