Puzzled We have two creek arms on our lake that usually produce tons of Crappie. I wore them out on the bank last March when water temp hit 66 to 68. Today the water temps were 62 on the lake ,but these creeks were 65 to 67.5. One had some nice fish anywhere from 3 to 9' of water. The other was the dead sea. Can't figure out why the fish are not shallower ? That other creek has good stumps , but water is muddy. Why are they not fired up ? The really baffling thing is nearly all the bigger fish were females. The males are normally way ahead in the shallow water. All I can figure is they are in transition.
