I'm still looking for them to be suspended on main lake points or ledges. I'll look at flats adjacent to defined creek channels on more stable or warmer days. Black crappie are known to slide into the shallows earlier than whites, so if you've had a couple warm nights, you may find them shallower than one would think. If water is less than 45 degrees, I need the pole in my hand in order to feel the lite biters. I'm going to move a lot slower, but sometimes the fish will let you know if you can speed up the process. Incoming water is generally warmer, unless you've had a large amount of snow melt.
