Crappie anglers are picking up partial limits around marinas and boat docks with brush. Some decent catches also have been reported around some of the bridge crossings, mainly on minnows. Barber says catfishermen taking limits early and late using fresh shad and punch on humps and points in shallow water. Drift fishing in deeper water is the ticket at midday.
