I think it depends on light and water temp. Your the fisheries biologist ?

Yes but we sample them in the Fall and Winter and I am a crappie fishing rookie (more or less). This will be my first spring to really go after them (as time permits).

Hey Russ I just merged the 2 post together instead of deleting one of them. And yes come on Spring, work is slowing down so I will have plenty of time to fish.

They start darkening up Late Feb mainly depending on weather patterns. They are the darkest through the month of April. Those Big Tux males will Strike with such force it Jars your ball cap loose and almost scares the hull out of ya when they hit. They they will test your tackle at every turn around those big ole cypress trees. What a Blast. I am Ready Ready.
