I do have a question, When you CPR them is it hard to push their little chest in at the proper rhythm?

I went out for a few hours this morning. Fished shallow brush....nothing. my magic depth for bites was 11-15'. Next to brush, but not in it. The place i crappie fish rarely is very good in the morning. Surprisingly my best numbers have been the hottest parts of the day in years past. 11am-1pm.
Believe it or not, im not a crappie pro or biologist....but it seems as the sun gets up, water warms the shad/bait concentrate in bigger schools, in turn grouping the crappies up. My places are are a chunk rock bottom with scattered brush. I usually pick off the fish in the brush first, then slide a little deeper to just pull my minnows through pockets of bait and crappies.....give that some time then go back to my brush to pick off any new residents. It sounds crazy and maybe that sounds odd but it works. Or just coincedence. Boated a dozen in about an hour with 2 good keepers and 1 nice bass. Then Mr. Merv gave me call, i met up with him and jigged me up a nice 6# or so hybrid on a fluke. That was pretty cool! vertical jigging i would see fish on my lowrance (and my fluke) and i would work the fluke and you could see on the screen the fishing coming up to it, but none hit except the one. Had a few bumps on the blade bait doing the same thing but no hook ups. Pretty good morning over all.
Lastly, my crappie spots seem to really heat up when the cats are done spawning and on the feed. I always boat several cats a day when the summer crappies are in full swing. Water temp was 74-75 when i left.
