We were seeing a lot of marks about 5 to 7 ft under the surface. I thought it was interferance then but now I'm thinking it was those crappie. We keep seeing those fish ducks trying to eat some kind of round shaped fish and the pelicans keep stealing them. I would bet with the lake being so full the last two years the crappie got a good foot hold and that is what we were marking. It that is the case, there is a lot of crappie in the lake this year. The shad should be spawning now and those small fry that will come later will feed the crappie for a while. This could be the start of a couple of years of boom for that year class of crappie. I hope so but either way, it won't last long unless the water levels rise up into the brush again.
