Females with a few males thrown in.
Fishing the Theodosia area, caught 9 real nice crappie (11-16 inches) in about an hr. around suspended brush amongst the dock boat stalls. Mostly black crappie with ...more minnows about 4-5 ft down, no hits any lower than that.

I just got back from the lake, did some fishing north of the Theodosia bridge. White bass (1-3lbs) were hitting on A rigs with white swimbaits, thumper tails worked ...more better than twister tails. Casting into the shallows with a medium retrieve worked best. Because the temperature ranged from the high 40's to the low 60's the bite was not consistant. Fishing the same locations with the same A rigs, but casting just past the brush lines parallel to the shore with a VERY slow retrieval, produced spotted and largmouth bass in the 1/4 to 3 lb range.
1st week f Jan, was catching largemouth and kentucky bass between 9 and 15" with live minnows in 22-30 ft of water, just off the bottom. We caught a few crappies ...more near hanging brush off docks. Nothing consistent, they ranged from about 8-14 inches.
