Anyone been to Rathbun in the last few days? Are the crappie up shallow yet? If not, when do think they will be and when will the peak fishing days be?
Rathbun is 5ft. above normal now and the crappies are going to the coves. Think shallow and look for weed stalks any any trashy crap you can find floating. The fish will be in and under that stuff.
The lake lost the year class of fish from ’96, so please don’t be a hog. No offense to you ,but right now there are a lot of freezer fillers camped over there.
