Just a clarification, we use glass rods when we drop shot multiple poles in rod holders. We use graphite when jig fishing and single polling. Crappie are up and down right now and are sluggish in the cold water. They prefer a stationary bait versus a moving bait right now. Water is getting close to 35 deg and is still murky. Deeper brushpiles have been better producers some days with brush in the 15 to 17 ft range better other days. It's been cold up here since Tuesday barely getting above freezing. Word of caution. Watch the boat ramps early. After the first boat unloads, they are solid ice.
