crappies are biting

I caught a pail full of crappies yesterday, but unfortunately it looks like that will be the last trip as the edges were soft and now rain.  Seems about right.  Thats always when they bite.

    Fish Now:

    Just like I said "Time to get on the chest waders and roll up on the ice!".  This is what happens each Spring as the crappies come in to spawn off that area.  Once on the ice it is fine, but the problem is getting on and off the ice at the shoreline.  Rain won't help, but will keep the holes open.
