I'm thinking the crappie at Clinton Lake are still deep, not realizing the shore line temp is 60 degrees. Clinton had 22" of ice on it this winter so I'm thinking the deeper water is taking longer to warm up, so the crappie don't sense warming water at the surface.
I'm just a curious person trying to figure out crappie, if that is possible.
I am a person that always needs to know why or how things work.
