Find And Catch Crappie in June Early Summer Hot Bite

We are fishing mid June for crappie on Beaver Lake in Arkansas. The majority of the crappie are still near the spawning areas because that's where the majority of the food is located. An abundance of shad and newly hatched fry are in the back of coves. The day starts off with the crappie in an off mood, but the afternoon bite turns on. The daytime temperature and the crappie bite get hot. Garmin Live Scope is used to show fish behavior, habitat, bait action, and a few fish catches. Some tackle tips are also shared. The weather conditions were warm with a high temperature around 85° for a high. The wind was around 5 to 9 mph from the southwest. The average barometric pressure was 29.84 inHg and was falling all day with partly cloudy skies. We fish the upper mid-lake area.

If I don’t know the answer, I will begin looking for one and share what I find. The goal is to build community and learn from each other. I will share my experiences as I learn new things and demonstrate what worked and what didn’t. I will make a video in the future about my camera equipment in detail. Know that YOLOtek can take care of your needs. I worked in the audio industry for 9 years and video production for 15 years. Finding equipment to handle the environment it’s being used in can be difficult. I bought a couple of mounts to evaluate. I then bought the other mounts I’m using because of how impressed I was with their gear. They also have incredible “How To” information on their site. They go over the things you need to know. If you would like to look at or buy some YOLOtek gear, you can use the link beside “camera mounts” above. I am very thankful for the affiliate link they provided me, however, I would be saying the same thing about their products without it. #Crappie, #Fishing, #Arkansas, #BeaverLake
