We fished banks, blowdowns, riprap, delta structure and drift fished. Ended the day catching 81 with 32 keepers. The Crappie were scattered between spawning and moving back to open water.<br /> The avg. water temp. was 65*. I used several colors of BGBS on a 1/32 oz jig.

of the day. Congrats to him.<br />
