We’ll I’ve been out a couple times on a couple different lakes, and man o man are the crappies hungry, I’m averaging 50 fish or so a day out on the water, with lots and lots of fish in the 9-11 inch range, and I’ve only been keeping a few here and there for a meal, so 95% of them are still out there. It’s a great time to take the kids out and find some constant action, caught a few sunfish in the past couple days, looking pretty ripe too, so we’ve been making sure to throw back the big girls, so they can continue thier line, but they getting near spawn. Of course we have seen a few bonus walleyes throwing little jigs and tubes in the shallower water. Sure that weather has been bad lately, but to of you itching to get out, now is the time. I caught crappies in 2 FOW, to 22 FOW, certain depths being a lot more productive, but they are pretty clear once you’re in them.
I’ve heard little tube jigs are really hot 
, and quite possibably out fishing, ALL live bait, from what I could tell. 
Be sure and practice some catch and release out there, and have a great time out there.
