There were about 5 other boats out all in deep water doing the same thing and they weren't catching either. Nice to get out on the water anyway. But, not heading back down to the lake until the water temp hits 50. That was my first crappie fishing trip in the middle of winter.
Naw... Don't wait till then. Try it again about mid Feb. Water temps should be in the low to mid 40's. Spider rig the bays in about 10' to 14'. They'll be there.
