I called Kyle last night and he also though it was a good idea to skip work and go fishing, so we did. 

Recent patterns showed that the fish really seemed to pick up as the day warmed.  We tried a couple typical shallow spots, but it was a little slow, so we worked some deeper structure early and decided to revisit shallows a little later in the day.  Kyle pulled a couple giant slabs out of the deep water.  The water in general was up a couple feet from recent weather patterns, so some new areas were good options for fishing today.  We had exceptional luck in the back of a southern bay where spring fed water was coming in.  After lunch, we fished around the road levee near Britton Bridge and also had exceptional luck there and along the back bay in that area.  We were catch good, frequent fish in the rear around 1.5 feed deep.  As the bays warmed, it was spawn crappie fishing at its best. It overall was an excellent day, even if it did start off a little slow.  Ended the day with 20 keepers with a the biggest being 13.25" and weighing 1.25#.  It was the first time Kyle and I had a chance to catch up in quite some time and it was a great time all the way around.
