Haven't done any fishing on Mitchell this year but I've talked to a couple of guys that went to Lay last Friday and they pulled some out from under piers and a few off the edges of weed beds. Minnows in the grass and jigs under piers. He did say they were slow bites. Started at the edge of weed beds and the crappie would fool with it until it was about 6 feet out before it would take the bait.
