Crappie moved in (catfish still thick)

As predicted - the crappie moved in - after the stupid yellow bass left out.

Also catfish on yoyo's - are feeding the little lady next door - for example got 5 in last 3 days - all 1 to 1.5 lbs (most average about 1.5 lbs or I throw them back)

Tomorrow I'm going to teach a neighbor lady how to fillet crappie (not sure how many I have right now - will probably make a youtube video just to prove I do catch crappie from time to time (most 1 lb or more - but not many 1.5lb - and none at 2 lb like last year (when they also moved in the shallow water around my fishing pier)

Addendum: When I typed this I had already checked yoyo's (4 with magic bait - 2 with bream) - and had a small (about 1 lb channel catfish) that I didn't mention - then after the 30 minute TV show I looked out again - and I already had another one - this one is more than 1.5 lbs so good thing I kept the first one (4 fillet is plenty for little lady next door - to fix for her lunch or supper) Just re baited the 4 magic bait yoyo's and realized the two fish are from yoyo very close to where I put out extra chum (more range cubes than usual) last few nights. Plus I noticed both of them had very large belly so I bet they are full of range cubes - in fact when we clean them tomorrow I plan to check i.e. I must be "baiting" all these little channel catfish in my brush pile (along with the shiner, shad, crappie and 'tons' of bream.
