"Took 78 tidal crappie over the last three days….air temperatures in the mid 80s rapidly warming the shallows into the 60s"

Diamond Valley Lake 12/22/14
Last panfish session of the year and Johnny and I hit a home run catching stripers, crappies and bluegills. Water temp was 58 and gills were hitting deep. The visibility at DVL is probably 25+ feet deep and without a fish finder I would guess we fished at 50 feet deep. Gills were 10-11" average and 1.2-1.4 pounds with a 2.1lb kicker. 1/64th oz custom jigs fished two at a time. Water is still WAY LOW

We fished them out by adding crawlers to the jigs
