The panfish bite is really heating up on pool 9 with both size and numbers of fish pretty easy to catch. I’ve been catching most of my crappies and gills relating to woody structure back in the running sloughs, targeting deadfalls with at least 6 fow. Crappies have been suspending VERY close to the wood about 2-4′ down in the water column. Gills are holding a little deeper. Fish are holding on pretty much every snag which meets their habitat needs, so you need to keep moving until landing on fish of suitable size. Crappies have been garwoofling little Northland Tackle tinsel jigs and Blond Bimbo Skunks, with most gills coming on either the original Bimbo Skunk or my Perchanator, tipped with a tiny piece of crawler. Most of the better perch have been relating to elodea, feeding on little green invertebrates, making the Perchanator a deadly bait. have also been catching a few on the Northland buckshot rattle spoon in perch pattern. Weed edges where there is at lest 6 fow have been the most productive, but some quality perch have also been coming from water as shallow as 18″.  Smallmouth bass also continue to be active. shade is a factor in fish activity. Best baits have been Rat-L-Trap Echo 1.75 and Kalin ghost minnow fluke style baits. also Chug Bugs/PoP R’s at dawn and dusk when water is flat. Walleye action has been spotty, but manage to catch several jut about every time out on Bomber 6As
