Thanks to everyone who made it out to our first multi species tournament of the year.

We saw a variety of crappie, bluegill and bass!

Great job to all the kids who came out despite the cold temps and still caught fish!

Early spring tip of the day! Fish the northeast corners and coves on southwest windy days!

For Bass- Red, bluegill or shad rattle traps 3/8oz

For Crappie- early spring I prefer pink jig head with white curly tail grub. I also upsize the grub.

Any other fish you would like help targeting this early spring?

It’s about that time of year, let’s see those PB Crappies!

Here are a few early spring crappies caught on a MegaBass jr. +1 and a full size MegaBass jerkbait!
