10 degrees here added to the winter low and they begin the march , never seen them go fast though , 30 fow 2 weeks , 20 foot of water 2 weeks , 10 foot of water 2 more weeks, and then KABOOM ....shoulders out of the water dancing in the dark ....
transition times vary greatly depending on several factors though and that is based on deeper lakes .
shallow spots they can move weekly or faster depending on just how shallow the average water depths are ..
length of days and moon phases and other contributing factors like daily water temps. come into play as well ....
some spots warm enough in 2 to 3 days to begin the cycle in rapid fashion .
it's a tricky business to stay on them in the spring and vice versa come fall when they move on to their winter mode
winter fish and summer fish are easy , transitional crappie are a beast
