Post Spawn Crappie Bite at lake of the ozarks

The water temperature at Lake of the Ozarks has surpassed 70 degrees and most Crappie are leaving their spawning beds.  There are still a few male Crappie on the banks, however most have spawned,  moved back into deeper water, and will be found in areas that have an abundance of small shad and other forage available.  Look for significant Crappie concentrations in the middle to back of lake coves in 20-30 feet of water.  If you can locate brush pile habitat at the aforementioned water depth you'll likely find significant Crappie numbers hanging out therein.  There are also schools of open water Crappie schools to pursue with forward imaging in the middle to back of coves.  The crankbait trolling bite is also heating up.  Best of luck to you and hope to see you on the water soon!  Captain Chris Barber
