So it has been an odd year for me in NW Pa for crappie.. I have been catching crappie in decent numbers, but everything from a boat in a little deeper water.. Before I had a boat, I would fish the shallows from the bank and catch 100's of them spawning (assuming spawning). I live only miles from 2 of my great crappie spots, I check them daily and the land bite doesn't seem like it happened? Sure they got a few when the ice came off, but nothing with huge numbers.. Am I missing something? Did they not spawn yet? Usually I get them from shore around the 3rd week of April.. Our water temps have not reached 60 yet.. Matter of fact I'm sure we are only sitting about 55 where I am... Who knows! Im lost! Ha ha.
