There is a small dam I fish quiet frewquently near my hometown. Early ice and even just a few weeks ago, I was catching crappies in about 7 ft of water. I would go out for a few hours and catch a handful of crappies and a bunch of gills, out of the same hole. The last two trips out there, I have still located to gills, but the crappies are no where to be found, have not even seen them on the camera. This little damn does go down to 25 ft, so I am thinking they might be suspended, but there is no cover in the deep water. I was catching them before around some trees and weeds around 5-7 ft deep. Should I try the deeper water and try to locate them? (i have a vex also) or shoul dI just keep fishing around the timber in the 7ft water hoping they will just come back?
