I switch up from sunnie bait to crappie rubber and they bit about every cast. Must have been a pod of them that moved into the creek. A couple were pushing a pound and a half. I have a buddy who went fishing in south Lake Champlain yesterday and kept his limit of 25 and had 3 that were around 2 pounds.
