If you can find them, the crappies are the biggest you will find all year. One big tip is fish SHALLOW lakes. Why? Because the fish can't go deep and know that it's either do or die time. They either get fat for the winter or starve. When I mean shallow, under 10 ft. maximum depth. If you want a nice mixed bag, you can troll small rapalas. Although it's by far my favorite method, it can produce a lot of fish. Good time of year to catch everything at it' heaviest point.
