I don't like chiming in on spawn posts because the experts (that have been crappie fishing for less than 5 years) always want to argue about it, but they fatten up during the winter much as deer before the rut, and then the bite is mostly guarding the beds during the spawn. I know this will spark WW3, but this is what I've seen and believe. I'm not a marine biologist though.
