    My boys are finally out of School and they are begging me to go fishing. Any suggestions on locations and patterns on pool 12 or nearby pools? Oh yeah, and they want some keepers (so do I!). The ones we have found around the marinas are small so far.

    Thanks

    pool 12 was tough for me panfishing, but we did come across one every now and then. The water temp was 64\66 and I asume the crappies are or have spawned. I might try backwater lakes myself with little current. The gills we found where on the bottom memorial weekend in slow current about 2-4FOW. I noticed in the Pecatonica River the fish are starting to feed on the newly hatched fry and there are some good size minnows too! I will try both bobber and bottom with some vertical jigging mixed in. I like the vertical jigging because I can angle through the water colum and maybe even find there zone if I’m lucky. Good luck
