Crappie

This time last year it was 2 limits every time out. This year I can’t even catch a mess. The only thing I see different is the water has been down. Anybody else been struggling or just me?😬

I went a couple of weeks ago and it was really slow. Fish were there but most of them had lockjaw. I don't know if it had to do with the water being down or something else. My son and I wound up with 7 after fishing for about that many hours, but they were all 13"+ except 1 was 11ish.

When I went last week I didn’t even get a bite from a crappie.

2 weeks ago I found them but for 3hrs all I managed was one 8"crappie and 2 catfish..not what I was hoping for..the water temp was down to 63 today so hopefully they will bite next weekend

I fished ALL day yesterday. We caught around 25-30 but most were shorts.

IMO the biggest problem is the water clarity. They're still ripping water down the river. I tried fishing some on the main river and she's rolling.

I have been catching 20 keepers per trip but I only have 2 places with keepers on them. Could catch 100 5-8" fish if you wanted. Mine are in 8-10 ft of water on both places
