Myself and friend caught some real nice crappie on the Northside (Tulapai/Jackrabbit flats) area.
We totaled 15 crappies plus many tossed backed and the channel cats in the mix. A couple fish were real nice slabs (1-1.5#). We fished from about 4pm til dark. The bite seemed to really pickup at sundown.We were basically fishing minnows in about 6-8' depth with a float/bait. Our rig was pretty simple; float about 4' above bait and spilt-shot. We caught our bait right off shore with castnet. The shad are everywhere in the backs of coves.
While fishing for crappie, we also tried for bass. 2 for myself, 3 my friend caught all on plastic worms (watermelon, pumkinseed colors).

| Pros: | Shorefishing, easy and not hard to find a good spot. |
| Cons: | Watch for the winds to pick-up in mid-day. It'll slow or stop by 5-6pm. |
