[cool][#0000ff]Sorry, did not get a look at the river flow on the way down. I was stuck between two kamikaze drivers who kept things interesting enough that I didn't take in much scenery.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most of the crappies I saw on sonar today were at about 20 feet...but some were suspended over water as deep as 35 feet. However, as you observed, the more active ones were in shallower water. I actually got a couple right on the bottom in about 24 feet.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Interestingly, they are feeding on zooplankton...not minnows. During the winter a lot of the crappies we catch have perch fry in them. Didn't keep anyof the other species for CSI results.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck.[/#0000ff]
