Cajun Willie was out yesterday at CJ and reported the water temp was 53 degrees in the areas that I fish...he caught a bunch of 9 inchers also in deep water. Slow vertical jigging. It will take some time to get the water warmed up and turned over, before they will head shallow in mass!
I talked to another buddy and he said the Marina crowd is catching aquarium Crappie...the warmest water is still deep, so that's where the most likely chance is "To Grab a Slab"!
