Andy,
I hope you had good luck. I guess you're fishing tidal creeks. With these temps bouncing around it will keep them moving. One spot I fish has some shallow water (6') adjacent to deep water (20') and is located on the North side so it gets sun all day long. A few sunny days will have the up in the shallow water only to have a cold cloudy snap push them deep. The crappie in this spot do the same thing. This is a spot I have been fishing for years. Then there's some spots I fish that have them 40 to 70 feet this time of year where they don't seem to move as much. It can be a guessing game, but once you figure them out you should be able to be on them year after year. A good chart comes in real handy even for shore fishing.

Mike
