    Default Reasonably mild winter


    Has anybody experianced the crappie moving shallow, acting like they are searching for spawning grounds anywhere yet? With the really mild winter I have been continuously catching crappie in relatively shallow water, two foot or less. Water temps have been in the low fifties now for quite some time.

    IMO, they are not ready to spawn, too early. I think they are going shallow for warmer water but not staying shallow all day

    The crappie on Conway have had rather large egg sacks, they ain't bloody and they ain't separated, however they are big egg sacks. I ain't saying they are ready, I am saying they are looking around.
