Been trying to hunt down those exclusive Slabs. Went to Hidges yesterday with a couple of buddies. These are not spawning Crappie close to shore. We are targeting Pre-spawn/Staging Crappie. Fish are in 20-30 feet of water and can be seen on fish finders between 8-15 feet below the surface. We are trolling Road Runners around .8-1 mph. Quality fish all above 2lb with a 3lb'er in the mix. Go get em while you can. The spawn is not far away.
