Just putting feelers out to see how different our results are.

I fished a small local lake (190 acres) on Saturday till the wind ran me off. I looked for crappie in the shallow (3-8 feet) flats and along the bank in cover. I found small crappie in the flats- caught a bunch of them. Did not catch a fish over 10" though.

Fished Eufaula yesterday and didn't find the Crappie I shallow water. We set our baits between 8-10' and caught a lot suspended on breaks between deeper water and the banks in Barbour Creek.

Based on what I experienced this weekend, I would say it's close, but the spawn is not quite on yet.
