Hit the lake for some deepwater crappie action. Dropshots and do-nothing jig rigs worked equally well. Fish were in winter locations-51 to 53 ft. being the most productive depths. Landed about 20 crappie and 6 perch. Although average size seems small( about 8 inches) managed a limit of keepers plus a few decent perch. Next time i will take pics.

was in a boat, however the water off the bank in the park is pretty deep close to shore and i would expect you could find them from shore too.

Nice job. I'm looking forward to reading more and more warmwater reports as the year goes on.

Nice report!! I'm new to the state and been searching for Crappie when I can. I love Crappie and I've been to Kapowsin 5 times and nothing. Would you happen to know of a launch closest to Spanaway side of the lake or a site that would list the launches? Must appreciated

To blufin loui; the dropshot weght was no more than 1/4 oz. i try to use the least amount of weight possible and still maintain good bottom contact. For whitten1823; im not too familiar with kapowsin, whenever i fish out that way im usually going to tanwax,rapjohn,ohop, or this time of year harts lake because it is open year round. All these lakes have good crappie fishing. I think the wdfw website has lake maps with launch sites.
