    Keep your head up. I find the spawn to be the least predictable time of the year for slabs. I can definately say that I've had more zeros in the spring than any other time of the year. Post-spawn can be fantastic 'till about the end of July. But I've found the absolute best time of the year to be January through March with November through January running a close second.

    Catching crappie consistently is tough in itself. Pay attention to reports, do your homework, and be in the right place at the right time. You will find 'em...

    I hope with the good weather we have had the last couple of days I can turn out some slabs.
    Thanks for the information

    that must be an arkansas thing. i have had a pretty fair year in alabama. the worst trip i hav ehad was 13 in a bout 2 hrs. this past saturday we caught 65-70. this time of year just fish docks with 1 a 1/32 oz jigs . try this.... go to walmart ( if you dont have anything like this) they have little 10 packs of chennille jigs. but a pack of 1/32 red head /black body / chartruese marabou tails. go to a dock . shoot the jig under the dock. let it fall to the bottom (counting it down 1 thousand 1, 1 thousand 2 , 1 thousand 3, etc. till it get tho the bottom. when it gets to the bottom start to slow real the jig in. do this for 5 casts. if that doesnt work . start over from the top. shoot the jig count to 1003 start to slow reel. do this for 5 casts. if that doesnt work go deeper. 1007 , 5 casts. , 1010, 5 casts, all the way to the bottom. do this on several docks and you will find a few some where. i hope this helps.

    The spawn is running behind this year so instead of hitting the spawning beds hit the stageing areas.
