I have fished north Ky lake on numerous occasions. We usually camp in the LBL at Sugar Bay. We have usually gone in early May so my buddies and I have always bass fished. We have never had the pleasure of running into the crappie spawn.

We are thinking about coming a little earlier this year....perhaps this week. By looking at the weather reports when do many of you pros think the best days to crappie fish will be this season? My guess by looking at water temps and forecasts that it will definitely be sometime in the next few weeks. Can anybody give me their best judgment on this?

Also, from Sugar Bay where would be the best place to fish for the shallow crappies if they are actually shallow? And how? Jigs under bobbers seem to be the best response to this question???

Thanks!
