Is it time to move?

Howdy All...

I'm wondering if it's time to relocate my shack.

The last few sundowners have been fairly good. The bite starts off with perch. Not jumbos, but fun anyway. Then the crappies moved in and we had action until about 10:00pm.

Tonight started off the same, but when it was supposed to be crappie time, all the showed up was small bluegills. And they bit a until 11:00pm. No crappies.

I'm sitting on a 14' breakline that borders a deep (30') basin. I'm wondering if I should be moving off the break and into deeper water to avoid the small perch and "potato chips" and get back into the crappies and maybe a eye or two.

What do you think?......Dan

Dan97,
The next time ya go out, drill some holes radiating out from your shack in the direction of the deeper water. Do a little "prospecting", or "hard-water trolling".Use a flasher if you have one(or borrow one).Or fish each hole for 10 minutes or so, at different depths, working to deep water.[Fishing as you check with a flasher is best.LOL ] See if you can find some fish suspended as the water depth progresses deeper.
I'd try this before moving a permanent shack, to try & keep from moving it more that I'd need to.
[One of the lakes I'm fishing on right now has the smaller crappies deep(25-30/near bottom) & the larger crappies are suspended, or traveling thru, up about 10 ft.]
My 2 cents....
Best of luck to ya!
See ya out there!

Well as MNSportsman said, When you get to your house drill a couple lines of holes from your house out to the 30Ft of water. Check the holes with your Flasher if you have one. Then let them rest!! Go back to your house for awhile and then at Dusk and again after dark, check the holes. If you find fish give them a try to see what you have. If you were on fish previously and you are located near a break like you said they didn't go far. Just look a little.ScottS
